It was after Oskanian gained official power.

“Heritage” party leader Raffi Hovannisian commented on the observation made by PAP MP Vardan Oskanian on his Facebook page and dictum of Ralph Valdo Emerson.
“Yes, today Armenia is in a deadlock full of “traveling spirit”. But it was after Oskanian became official power. There is no novelty.
Now- Emerson, and not only for V. OSkanian, but for all the political persons (including me).”
“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.”
