While some political parties in Armenia were discussing whether PACE would suspend Armenia’s voting right, a group of intellectuals of Armenia was concerned with the issue, and another group was indifferent, said dramaturge Karine Khodikyan during a press conference.

The intellectuals should have joined and should demand from the officials to do everything to guarantee that Armenia would not be suspended of its voting right, she said. “Unfortunately, the intellectuals have not joined,” said the dramaturge.

Film director Tigran Khzmalyan said that a group of intellectuals wanted Armenia to be suspended of voting right. He said that world needs intellectuals to hear the truth, if the intellectuals don’t describe the true scene, then they are not needed.

K. Khodikyan said that Armenia is facing a real regress. “No citizen of Armenia feels like real citizen of its country. We starve for real citizens. In a democratic country citizens should feel like real citizens of that country,” she said.
