YEREVAN, May 31. /TASS/. Armenian President Armen Sarkissian has signed a decree dismissing Acting Foreign Minister Ara Ayvazyan, the presidential press service said in a statement on Monday.

"Acting Foreign Minister Ara Ayvazyan is hereby dismissed from his position at the prime minister’s request in accordance with Article 131 of the Constitution and Article 5.1 of the Law on the Structure and Activities of the Government," the decree reads.

Armenia’s Acting Foreign Minister Ara Ayvazyan offered his resignation on May 27. Deputy Foreign Minister Gagik Galachyan and Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Anna Nagdalyan have also announced plans to step down.

Experts and the media don’t rule out that the wave of resignations stems from Armenia’s interaction with Azerbaijan, aimed at rectifying the border.

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
