The Armenian parliament has confirmed the nomination of Yervand Khundkaryan as president of the Court of Cassation, the high-instance court of Armenia.

85 MPs from the total 105 took part in the confirmation vote, with 84 voting in favor. One ballot was declared invalid.

Khundkaryan has held various positions in the judiciary since 1993.

“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
