He said he will not participate in the forthcoming parliamentary and presidential elections, as he is confident that these will be marred. Singer poet David Amalyan, for his part, referred to the hotly debated Tashir music awards ceremony. “People remembered about the low level of Armenian pop music only after the singers were gifted apartments,” he said.
