"The prime minister believes the articles are a good genre to communicate own thoughts and he is ready to continue tis type of communication. In response, I noted that articles are not a good genre and investigation is the process should answers many pending questions," Edmon Marukyan, the leader of Bright Armenia parliamentary faction told reporters on Wednesday. 

Marukyan's remarks came at a request to comment on the article “The Origins of the 44-Day War,” authored by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. 

Marukyan reminded that his faction had proposed to set up a fact-finding mission to examine all circumstances of the recent war in Nagorno-Karabakh and the proposal had been sent to all political forces on December 20. 

"When the group is established, all involved parties will be testified, foreign ministers, chiefs of General Staffs of Armed Forces, soldiers, volunteers among them. Our people will give no rest to us until they get answers to all questions. Those questions cannot be answered through articles, since the genre itself is a monologue. You choose convenient questions for you to give answers. Instead, we would raise inconvenient questions. To respond to inconvenient question a fact-finding mission should be formed," said the head of the opposition faction. 

He didn't rule out institution of criminal cases as a result of the group work.

“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
