"I don’t think the fact that Dashnaktsutyun has made decision to run
for election with its own candidate should be considered as something
unexpected. Because, the situation is sometimes presented in a way
as though we have made an unexpected step in the rear in relation to
our allies.

We did what we had previously declared; we didn’t violate the
arrangements, and didn’t bring surprise to our colleagues. We have
kept our decency, and have never been unfaithful to our gentleman’s
posture, so to say. This is strictly important for us," this is how
MP ARTASHES SAHBAZYAN comments upon Dashnaktsutyun party’s decision
to run for election with its own candidate.

“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
