YEREVAN, March 29. /TASS/. The continuation of the domestic political crisis in Armenia after the early parliamentary elections cannot be ruled out, if they are held against the backdrop of the current constitution, Armenian President Armen Sarkissian said in an interview with the Aravot.am local news website.

"I will continue to insist that, in the end, if we think that our constitution needs to be reformed, if we want political actors not to blame each other again after the elections, then we should work as close as possible to the suggestion that I made," he noted.

"Otherwise, various decisions are possible after the elections, which, unfortunately, can again result in a political crisis," the president added.

“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
