Arman Melikyan, a former foreign minister of the Nagorno-Karabakh
Republi,c mulls over proposing his candidacy in parliamentary and
presidential elections.

At a news conference on Friday, the politician shared his concerns
over the upcoming electoral processes in Armenia.

“I certainly think of running [for election] as a single candidate,
but it is not final decision yet. For me, it is important to realize
in advance to what extent the situation is prone to free and fair
elections, ” he said.

Speaking of possible outcomes, Melikyan said the Republican Party
and Prosperous Armenia are more likely to win seats in the next
parliament, though he didn’t rule out the possibility of other parties’
representation – Armenian Revolutionary Federation-Dashnaksutyun
(ARF-D) and Prosperous Armenia.

“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
