The National Assembly of Armenia passed a draft law Thursday defining
the legal regime in the country in case a state of emergency is
imposed.

The 131-member Armenian parliament adopted the draft law with 67
votes for and one against, as two parliamentary opposition parties
Heritage and the Armenian Revolutionary Federation refused to take
part in the voting.

Local analysts say the law is a precautionary measure by the government
ahead of the upcoming parliamentary elections on May 6.

“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
