YEREVAN, JUNE 21, ARMENPRESS. Caretaker Deputy Prime Minister of Armenia Tigran Avinyan says the snap parliamentary elections held on June 20 should turn into public solidarity.

“Dear compatriots,

With the 2018 Revolution the power was returned to the people, and after that we have always promised that we would not allow to deprive the people of the right to election. With the free, fair and transparent elections held on Sunday, Armenia made another big step towards democracy, by expressing its decisive will that the power in our country belongs to the people and this is an irreversible reality.

The elections, which were held by the people’s _expression_ of free will, symbolize the brilliant victory of democracy and embody the practical success of the 2018 Revolution. At the same time these elections must turn into public solidarity, on which we must build the superstructure of our free and democratic state”, Avinyan said in a statement on Facebook.

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
