YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 8, ARMENPRESS: Another top Army General signaled
his intention to resign in order to contest for a parliament seat in
May 12 parliamentary elections, it emerged yesterday. Maj.-General
Seyran Saroyan, commander of the 4-th Army Corps, sent a resignation
application to defense minister Serzh Sarkisian asking him to mediate
before president Kocharian who has the final say in this question.

The news was revealed by deputy defense minister Arthur Aghabekian
who was the first of top Army Generals to seek resignation in order
to be eligible to run for parliament. Aghabekian said earlier he
will rejoin the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF) in which he
suspended his membership in 1996 after joining the army.

Aghabekian said his fellow’s move was normal as every man should
himself build his future.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
