YEREVAN.-  Catholicos of All Armenians Garegin II held a meeting on Sunday with Republican Party  parliamentary faction leader Vahram Baghdasaryan, acting minister of defense Vigen Sargsyan, and MP Armen Ashotyan, who also serves as Vice President of the ruling party – the RPA, the information department of the Mother See of Holy Etchmiatsin reported.
 
The meeting was held in the Mother See of Holy Etchmiatsin. The meeting focused on the current domestic political situation in Armenia and peaceful settlement paths.
 
 
National Assembly (NA) of Armenia will convene a special session on May 1, and the topic of the agenda will be the election of a new Prime Minister.
 
For reference, the new National Assembly of Armenia has 105 seats, 58 of which are allocated to the RPA, 31—to opposition Tsarukyan Bloc, 9—to Yelk, and 7—to the coalition government’s junior partner, Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF) Dashnaktsutyun Party.  A candidate needs 53 votes to get elected.
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
