According to the reporter of “First News and Analyses” Mousa Mikaelyan the whole noise about history textbook in YSU as much as it may seem strange actually has a positive impact on the social and political atmosphere.
“Falsifying history, deforming the March 1 events, YSU’s new history textbook authors inflamed serious passions and awakened the claims of the public and the society for March 1, which were calmed down, how strange it may seem, by the opposition deepened in the “political romance”. ANC leaders made the issue of March 1 events part of the subject of their “political” calculations and were using it as wanted, and the public was left out of this game, gradually giving everything to the political leaders.”
Clarifying this idea the reporter notes that as a result the March 1 issue had become a tool of political manipulations and a part of the internal trade. She added that the fraud, which took place in Yerevan State University, broke this frozen situation and reminded the stagnated public that the problem, which was the fatal tragedy of the state and society, becoming a matter of political intrigues and palatial deals, may be subject to any harassment.
“Here is the positive impact and awakened the society. We must hope that the public will no longer make political bargaining chip out of this issue, this important historical question, which is, unfortunately, a tragic page in our history. The society has no right to give this issue to the political levers over again.” concluded Mousa Mikaelyan.
