Yes, member of the Bright Armenia Party Rubik Stepanyan has served as head of the Penitentiary Department. This is what head of the Bright Armenia faction of the National Assembly Edmon Marukyan told reporters today, touching upon deputy of the My Step faction Gevorg Papoyan’s speech in which the latter recalled that many members of the Bright Armenia faction held offices during the years of the former authorities, including police chief, positions in the Staff of the President of Armenia, etc.

“All the members of Bright Armenia party have careers. Rubik Stepanyan is a war veteran and a colonel. Being the member of a political party is one thing, serving in the army is another thing. I served in the army during the administration of Robert Kocharyan, so shoot me. I started serving in 1999, and I was in the army during the events that took place on October 27, 1999,” Marukyan said and hinted that Gevorg Papoyan has been a member of the Republican Party of Armenia.

“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
