Armenia cannot become Singapore: Armen Martirosyan

The Singapore effect is only applicable to the result of Chinese civilization

 

“Many people ask me; would I live elsewhere if I had an opportunity? As if they asked; would I kill my father if I had an opportunity?”, director of “Antares” publishing house Armen Martirosyan says.


Referring to Armenia's present and future, Martirosyan recalls Igor Muradyan's words. “Armenia will not become Armenia, until our generation changes.” “And I would say I could not survive, but now I'm afraid Muradyan was very optimistic,” he notes.


Armen Martirosyan believes that Armenia cannot become Singapore. Armenia can become Slovenia, may follow Georgia's way, but will not become Singapore. "Neither Armenia nor Russia, nor Germany, nor England can become Singapore. The Singapore effect is only applicable to the result of Chinese civilization,” “Antares” director says.
