The Armenian government is deciding whether it will hold or not hold an event dedicated to Citizen's Day amid the state of emergency, and according to the holiday calendar, this year it is supposed to be held on April 25. Spokesperson for the Prime Minister of Armenia Mane Gevorgyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am that there is still no final decision.

Last year, a supplement was made to the Law on Holidays and Remembrance Days and it was decided that the last Saturday of April will be celebrated as Day of Citizens of the Republic of Armenia. Last year, it was celebrated on April 27 with exhibitions and public discussions devoted to the velvet revolution in Yerevan and Armenia’s provinces, and on that day, Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan toured Mashtots Avenue, took photos with citizens and ate barbecue with them.

“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
