Officials dismiss ex-president’s remarks on firing 56 top security
officers

Presidential candidate Levon Ter-Petrosyan stated in his campaign
speech in Armenia’s Vayots Dzor Region on 13 February that 56 top
officers of the National Security Service [NSS] have been fired from
their jobs after refusing to act against their own people.

The press service of the National Security Service of the Armenian
government has said that neither top officers nor ordinary staff
members have been fired from the NSS for the reason shown by the
presidential candidate.

Thus the statement is wide of the mark, the press service of the
National Security Service reported.

“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
