At the meeting with the staff of “Alternative” research center, President Sarkissian has stressed the importance of systemic solutions and institutions, noting that individuals are not able to overcome such difficulties alone.

“There are no saviors. We need a vision, a strategy, and a plan for development. We must build our state institutions through consistent and hard work and discipline. That is why we must first acknowledge that we are experiencing a deep crisis, and not one but several at that. We must refuse to present what we want as reality, refrain from lying and falsifying, throwing mud at each other with false statements. Ultimately, we must have the courage to accept the bitter reality, evaluate our mistakes and move forward with effective steps.”

“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
