YEREVAN, APRIL 8, ARMENPRESS. We must hold discussions over the future structure of our Armed Forces, Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan said at the Cabinet meeting today.

“Also, in connection with the principles of military service, how professional the Army should be, to what extent it should rely on conscripts and to what extent it should rely on professionals”, the PM said, adding: “We need to discuss these issues very deeply and seriously and make decisions”.

Emil Lazarian: “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
