Ex-Vice President of the National Assembly Arpine Hovhannisyan said that she has decided to terminate her membership to the former ruling Republican Party of Armenia.

“Last week I received the license for [conducting] attorney activities, and I will join the community of attorneys,” she wrote on Facebook. “I founded an NGO. Our objective will be to oversee the processes taking place in the country, reveal the problems; but along with that, to offer the solutions. I will carry out professional activities in the status of a partner at the consulting firm.”

“Also, I will continue my active lecturer’s and academic-pedagogical activities. I will continue my active involvement in social and political processes,” she added.

“Taking all this into account, I have decided to at this phase terminate my membership to the Republican Party of Armenia,” News.am cited Hovhannisyan as saying.

“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
