There is no coalition in Armenia, but a government of national consensus, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan told reporters during his working visit to Tavush province, commenting on the question according to which the ARF, as part of the coalition, said 2nd President Robert Kocharyan’s detention could be viewed as a political persecution.

“There is no coalition in the Republic of Armenia, there is misunderstanding here. We have tried to form a government of national consensus. Those who feel themselves out of the national consensus, we are not holding anyone”, the PM said.

“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
