Armenia –

Political activist Edgar Ghazaryan claims Armenia’s leadership is preparing the country for “another defeat”.

“The country is preparing for another defeat,” he wrote on Facebook on Friday.

Ghazaryan criticized the move to transfer the responsibility for guarding Armenia's borders from the Armenian army to the “incompetent” National Security Service (NSS) border troops.

“Meanwhile, the commander of the NSS Border Guard Troops has been dismissed and his replacement has not yet been named,” he said.

“The Armenian Security Council secretary warns of a new large-scale war, whereas martial law is not declared in the country. The chief of the Special Army Corps is in a military hospital. The posts of the two deputy chiefs of the Armenian military’s General Staff and the NSS Border Guard Troops commander remain vacant,” Ghazaryan underscored.

“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
