YEREVAN, DECEMBER 22, ARMENPRESS. The opposition Homeland Salvation Movement has called upon the military and the police to join them in demanding Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s resignation.

“I am calling on the army to immediately join our people with a statement, I am calling on the police to immediately join our people with a statement. Every hour matters,” former Prime Minister Vazgen Manukyan told a crowd of supporters who gathered in central Yerevan where they’ve declared a strike.

Manukyan is the Homeland Salvation Movement’s candidate for interim prime minister.

The movement was started by 16 political parties (1 parliamentary and 15 non-parliamentary).

“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
