Statement by The FUTURE ARMENIAN Initiative on the parliamentary elections in Armenia 

The FUTURE ARMENIAN Initiative has congratulated the citizens of Armenia on concluding snap Parliamentary elections during these difficult times for the country.

“We are hopeful that the representatives of the elected parties will serve by working hard to ensure solidarity across all Armenians, overcoming unprecedented challenges to strengthen our state and nation,” the FUTURE ARMENIAN Initiative Group said in a statement.

“While these elections and the _expression_ of the will of Armenia’s citizens are important, there are other critical issues to be addressed by all Armenians worldwide. Among other goals, we must assure Armenia’s sovereignty; counter isolation and gain relevance through strategic partnerships regionally and globally; guarantee Artsakh’s physical security and establish its legal status; foster a competitive economy that attracts human and financial capital; and transform the relationship between Armenia and the Diaspora into one based on mutualism and trust,” it added.

“We are certain that this vision will be possible with good governance, under which all stakeholders are working collectively and abiding by evidence-based decision-making while looking for efficient and sustainable solutions. The FUTURE ARMENIAN Initiative through its 15 goals is committed and ready to assume its part of the collective responsibility of envisioning the future of our nation and the path to successfully lead us there. Along with the 35,000 signatories of this Initiative, we look forward to helping kickstart our nation-building process through a productive collaboration with the incoming Government, the Parliament, and all engaged stakeholders,” the statement reads.

“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
