YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 17, ARMENPRESS. The opposition Prosperous Armenia Party (BHK) of the Armenian parliament says the lawmakers should debate only two issues– the dismissal of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and cancelling the martial law.

“Today we can debate only two issues – cancellation of the martial law and Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s resignation,” Prosperous Armenia lawmaker Naira Zohrabyan said in parliament during a regular session, which doesn’t include these items on the agenda.

BHK says Armenia needs to discuss a resolution to the existing situation with its strategic ally Russia.

Earlier the BHK said during an anti-government demonstration that they are launching the process of convening an emergency meeting of parliament with the agenda of debating the dismissal of the prime minister from office. The session, however, hasn’t taken place yet.

“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
