The state plays an important role in solving the problem of demography, the second President of Armenia Robert Kocharyan told a group of economic reporters.

"We need to see if there is a similar experience in the world. Look at the population of Israel, at the time of creation and now," he said. "The question is that we need to set a goal and develop a program to achieve it."

According to him, effective management, correct decisions, and internal organization are needed.

"I have always believed that we can be the most organized country in the region. We need a national project, where you can contribute a lot and achieve the goal," the ex-president said.

“If the world has such an experience, then why are we worse? If you are notorious and do not believe in your strength, then there is nothing to do," Kocharyan added. "Internal cohesion is also very important. But in the current situation I can't believe that it is possible to achieve something."

“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
