YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 26, ARMENPRESS. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan says that the implementation of the post-war roadmap he unveiled on November 18 and ensuring foreign and domestic security and stability is an “absolute priority and necessity”.

“We must live through these difficult times and we must overcome the time and its difficulties,” Pashinyan said at a Cabinet meeting. “I’d like to repeat, as Prime Minister of Armenia I take entire responsibility for the existing situation. But I realize that I am responsible not only for what has happened until now, but also for further developments.”

“The government has already adopted two rather major action plans supporting our compatriots in Artsakh. The adoption of such actions will continue for as long as necessary,” he said, adding that the government will also start restoring the settlements that were damaged during the war in the provinces of Syunik and Gegharkunik.

“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
