The National Assembly may actively influence the outcome of election
of the new president of the NAS. An indirect interference is meant,
which may have a significant role, however.
The point is that the parliament decided to empower the directors of
institutes to vote to the election of president of the Academy. This is
regulated by law, and the academicians will turn to the parliament. No
doubt expanding the range of eligible members of the academy may
essentially modify the scenario of the election if there is such. Ten
voters is not the same as twenty voters. Moreover, the categories
of voters vary. In other words, the members of the presidium of
the NAS have a motivation, differing from that of the directors of
institutes. Hence, the decision of the parliament may have a deciding
role in the election of the president of the academy.

“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
