''All the ministers of our Cabinet have done their best for the people and their future. None of the ministers has ever pursued personal benefits. Our main goal was saving the country and during this period we have been accused of different issues in many occasions. I think people should have stopped blaming us so as we could correct our mistakes'', Diab said.

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
