Suzan Margaryan is the most womanly singer which is not too far from our young people. To her point of view the most praiseworthy feature among the youth is the courage: “When I was young this feature was lacking. Now young people have got much independence and tendency. Our children are very smart and well informed. But I think that too much information has negative influence on children. I’m very proud when I see how patriot our youth in abroad is. I feel pain when I see our talented children leave for abroad. I wish the future to be very careless and peaceful. Let’s the youth pass through many difficulties and reach their aim. But I’m sure that our youth will be in it’s best kind”.

Rafael & Michael Kotanjian
A person is given a natural talent as a result of a combination of genetics (some have natural ability in music, art or technical sciences) and surroundings (growing up in a musical family will aid one in developing a talent for music) or because God desired to endow certain individuals with certain talents. In this case, Michael is the synergy of both the genetics and surrounding as he was born in the family of Armenian celebrated, favourite artist Rafael Kotanjyan. The proverb says “Like father like son”, Michael has taken again the sphere of art but this time singing art, music. Michael has no musical education but he worked at the theatre since his childhood and he thinks it's a rather good experience.

HAYKO
Though he is young, he is already very famous. Of course all of us know this famous singer Hayko. His opinion about nowadays youth is optimistic: “I don’t see anything negative. Everything is light and joyful. Our young generation is very purposeful. The only bad thing I have noticed among the people of Diaspora that not all Armenians have remained like real Armenians.
I see the future of Armenia in brighter lights. I'm an optimist and I believe that in future everything will be all right. So let’s hope that everything will be all right
