“Such necessity may raise for instance tomorrow and I will ask, the next issue regarding the 2004 may raise, I will ask Robert Kocharyan, issues about Lisbon and Budapest summits may raise the other day and I will ask Levon Ter-Petrosyan,” he said, adding that in case of necessity he will gather all and ask questions.

“I have no problem in doing it. Of course, I do not know who will answer my questions and who not, but I will ask in case of necessity,” the premier said.

As to the meetings with Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev, Pashinyan said he considers their meetings as positive.

“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
