March 14, 2014

YEREVAN. – Prime Minister of Armenia Tigran Sargsyan is attempting to
endow himself with new powers. Moreover, he is doing that at the
expense of the government’s powers, Zhoghovurd daily reports.

“During the government meeting yesterday [i.e., Thursday], SRC [i.e.,
State Revenue Committee] Chairman Gagik Khachatryan introduced a draft
decision on ‘Making Changes in the December 17, 2009 No. 1491-N
Decision of the Armenian Government.’

“According to which, henceforth not the government, but rather the PM
personally will appoint Armenia’s customs attaché to the EU and the
World Customs Organization,” Zhoghovurd writes.

“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
