Super Minister's Task is to Drive the Nation to the Highest Level of Illiteracy, Says Madatyan on the 'Mel' Film

“How much can a person present nothing of themselves in society based on their sexual orientation? And the ministry needs to make a film about this. We have reached the threshold of absurdity.” This assessment was voiced by psychologist Mihirdat Madatyan regarding the allocation of 20 million drams from the state budget for the production of the film 'Mel'. According to him, the film is a logical continuation of the transvestites that came from Cuba, while the government did not respond to public protests on this matter.

“Our super minister's current task is to lead the nation to the highest level of illiteracy. It is easier to govern an illiterate mob,” he declared, analyzing the fact that the Armenian language and history have been removed as mandatory subjects from the education system.

“It is well known that even when it was mandatory, very few people could write three sentences correctly. And this is at a time when other countries are taking steps to promote their languages, for example, France promotes the French language within the framework of Francophonie. According to the psychologist, the issue should be viewed not in the context of subjects but regarding the idea of the nation. Language is foundational to the idea of a nation. By destroying it, we eliminate a very significant component of the idea of the nation,” he emphasized.

He stated that this is the latest disappointment experienced by the people. “Z. Batoyan, with his illogical justifications, decides to close down boarding schools, while his salary is increased; whether the justice minister is relevant or not is questionable, and it is unclear what the super minister of education is doing, filming movies,” noted the psychologist.

Another speaker, Vahan Babayan, head of the Reformists Party, stated that instead of focusing on teachers and national projects, funding is provided for projects promoting perversion that are purportedly democratic. “This is not just about the film, but rather about politics,” he stated. According to V. Babayan, from now on, Nikol Pashinyan will not be perceived as a revolutionary prime minister. In the government's programs, apart from dreams and promises, there has been nothing to expect anything from.
