Rally organized by PM Pashinyan kicks off at Republican Square

 18:59, 1 March, 2021

YEREVAN, MARCH 1, ARMENPRESS. The rally organized by Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan has kicked off at the Republican Square. ARMENPRESS reports the participants of the rally greeted the PM chanting ‘’Nikol – Prime Minister’’, ‘’We are in charge of our country’’ and other slogans. After singing the national anthem of Armenia, Pashinyan greeted the people and asked them to honor the memory of the victims of the last Artsakh war with a minute of silence, after which they honored the memory of the victims of March 1 developments (anti-government demonstrations in 2008) with a minute of silence.

On February 27, President Armen Sarkissian refused to approve Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s motion on dismissing the Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces Onik Gasparyan. The President returned the motion with objections. Shortly afterwards, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan again forwarded the same motion to the President. The President has three days to either approve it or apply to the Constitutional Court.


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
