A contractual military serviceman has died in an avalanche in the village of Kakhakn, Gegharkunik province, caretaker Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said today in his campaigning speech.

“I have bad news,” he said. “The soldier was found dead. I express condolences to his family and friends.”

At Pashinyan’s suggestion, the attendees of the event held a moment of silence in honor of the victim.

On November 28, the ministry of emergency situations said that a person is missing in an avalanche. The ministry had not specified other details.

“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
