(About repatriation and repatriates) 

[in Armenian]

To be honest, I must note that the Armenian communist who immigrated was more faithful and dedicated, ideologically, than the most orthodox person in the present Soviet country. I do not refute that there were those immigrated communists who assumed, and why not, expected, to get a privileged position in the country where there ideals were realized. But what happened? After turning book theories and so-called holy principles into living reality, they stripped of their ideological garb and degenerated. The minority rule of force turned governors into careerists and dictators. All human rights were trampled. Society became a horde devoid of will; servile, insincere and mean-spirited.
