“Our clear demand from the European Union is the supremacy of law and equality for all. Although we welcome the operation of the EU Rapid Response Team in Armenia, our demand is clear.

A key focus must be on the rule of law.

All political parties should be supported equally and transparently.

The activities of the group should be open to all interested parties and public groups in Armenia,” he wrote next to the video.

“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
