“Being a writer already means being someone with power. But let’s not forget that the real writer envisions the power for the future and doesn’t want to receive its evidence at the moment and have everything immediately. The governments come and go but the good texts live for certain period of time. I don’t understand anything from politics and don’t even wish to understand anything because politics stenches. The stench has been the permanent escort of politics. The person doesn’t wish to believe himself/herself and that is the question of questions. But the thought that our state or people lie to us is a simple reality. Liberty is an independent work, which you do alone and attain alone,” said one of the greatest writers of Russia Andrey Bitov during his visit to Armenia. According to Bitov the person is inclined to lie to himself because he can’t do it any other way.
