Politician and public figure, President of the International Center for Human Development Tevan Poghosyan has reacted to the Facebook post of Minister of Health Arsen Torosyan addressed to MP Naira Zohrabyan from the opposition Prosperous Armenia faction of the Armenian National Assembly following the latter’s report of the missing body of an old coronavirus victim.

"When a public or political debate is not based on love and respect for the other person, when the goal is to push ahead one's own intentions at all costs and to venerate one's ego instead of trying to solve problems and to find the shortest path to the future, it necessarily yields the same result:  mutual insults and an atmosphere of intolerance,” the politician wrote.

“This time I will not apologize to anyone, especially to politicians with long-term experience and efficient workstyle. I will just voice my support [for the MP] or simply say, ‘Nar jan [dear], keep going!’,” he added.

“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
