''The issue of power will be solved at the National Assembly. Our headquarter is here. We will stay here, let him come here and we will dictate him our demands and how he has to step down. Dear people, this is a historical moment, be resilient, courageous, patient. We will block this street. We will wait. We must bring the MPs so as they vote and dismiss the PM. Get ready, we will stay here all night and will block the street with barricades from both ends'', Manukyan 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
