Since 1983 I write, I crossed the Soviet and post-Soviet times, years of Armenia’s independence. It reached a point that allows me to change my life. Probably matured in my life was the moment when I did not want to ask questions, knowing the answers in advance. I have my answers, my thoughts, my actions.
