YEREVAN, MAY 25, ARMENPRESS. The opposition will introduce an initiative on convening an emergency session of parliament next week, the Vice Speaker of Parliament Ishkhan Saghatelyan from the opposition Hayastan faction, who is one of the leaders of the anti-government protests, said in a press briefing.

“We’ve clearly said that we will return to parliament with our agenda, and here today I say again that we will develop this agenda. Next week we will demand an emergency session. I will present details of the agenda in the evening,” Saghatelyan said.

“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
