“We haven’t had a state for a thousand years,” Armenia’s Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan stated at today’s government session.
“It was the state of someone else, another nation; we were citizens, and what belonged to us existed only within the walls,” he noted.
According to Mirzoyan, a transformation is now underway, where those walls must come down. He emphasized that taxes must be paid so that not only the inside of the wall is beautiful, but also the outside.
Nikol Pashinyan also stressed that problems cannot be resolved unless they are discussed.
