Laws related to education, local government, science and scientific and technical activities had to be brought up for public discussion. The Ombudsman of Armenia Arman Tatoyan stated this at a press conference. 

He noted that these areas are directly related to human rights, and the authorities did not justify their decisions in terms of human rights, a mechanical approach was applied.

“Removing the threshold of salaries can lead to a reduction in teachers’ salaries and a reduction in the budget for kindergartens, which is directly related to the human rights to education, as it affects its quality,” Tatoyan 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
