YEREVAN. – It is presented to the public that if this government leaves, the alternative is the old ones; this is the fundamental ideological core of the big lie. Tigran Urikhanyan, leader of the Alliance Party of Armenia, stated this at Saturday’s special congress of this political force.

"No. There are [political] forces [in Armenia] that are not linked to the old ones, let alone to the new ones. The ‘cream’ of that force is represented here. If someone wants to sow within the society that there is no other patriot in the country except [PM] Nikol Pashinyan, aware, skilled, experienced people or forces, then he is doing the greatest harm to the society," he added.

Urikhanyan noted that if they are not at the squares where 17 opposition political forces are holding protest rallies, it does not mean that they do not and will not participate in the process of change of government. "It will be as the people decide, and the people decide in different ways—sometimes through elections, whereas the last time, simply through active influence," he 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
