YEREVAN. – Past daily of Armenia writes: According to Past newspaper’s information, a draft version of a bill on the application of legislative regulations to officials is being discussed by the authorities.

To our knowledge, these regulations shall apply to officials who theoretically and practically possess, or may possess, state secrets.

It is envisaged to clearly define the list of those officials, as well as the scope of applying certain restrictions on them during and after their tenure.

According to our sources, representatives of pro-Western NGOs have been actively promoting this topic in the backstage.

In fact, if such an initiative is to be implemented, it will be possible to limit the capacity of public officials to freely move and engage in activities in the future.

“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
