RA MP Naira Zohrabyan posted a Facebook post reflecting on the “Huzanq uZanq” performance at the Republic Square metro station, which was followed by clashes. The note states:

“And this marasmus and profanation will continue as long as the majority of society is silent

Yesterday, I was watching an experimental reading of the so-called futuristic poetry taking place at Republic Square, which turned out, according to one of the key actors in the “performance”, Hasmik Khachunts’s, secretary of the “My Step” faction of Yerevan Council of Elders, “futuristic poetry voice in the past, which comes to proclaim the presence of the artist.” Don’t you understand? Of course not. I, too, being a theatrical expert, who distinguishes art from profanation, marasmus, delirium, and pathological sublimations of sick people, did not understand anything.

Yesterday, I learned about the “futuristic melody” staged with the permission of the municipality from the post of my friend Vahagn Khacheryan and before returning from Amulsar to Yerevan the performance of “high art” was over.

It is understandable that people in the society may have unhealthy perceptions. I don’t care of them until they make public their sick and pathological instincts. Tomorrow, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Kammuthra staged in front of the government building and a section of “intellectuals to say it’s high art and recommend us, the ignorant ones to visit Taj Mahal.

This is a disaster, and this disaster must have been prevented the day before. Unfortunately, the majority of the public is silent, and this silence is the biggest Blanche Card for the sick ones, anti-national rubbish those who advocate profanation by specially designed programs.

And let no artist should say that what happened yesterday near metro was an art and has a right to exist. I have already said that by the same logic tomorrow, in the squares and in front of your children’s schools, such “freelance artists” will stage in Kama Sutra and your children will have to be a communicator and a witness to that “high art.”
