YEREVAN, MARCH 24, ARMENPRESS. Parliament passed in a near unanimous 118-1-1 vote the opposition’s bill on lifting the martial law which was declared in Armenia in 2020 September when Azerbaijan launched the attack on Artsakh.

The bill on lifting the martial law was presented by the Prosperous Armenia and Bright Armenia opposition parties.

By law, the decision of parliament to lift the martial law comes into effect immediately upon the Speaker's formalization, if no other timeframes are defined by the decision itself.

“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
