Security expert, MP Tigran Abrahamyan from the opposition I’m Honored bloc, deplored the authorities’ move to step up security measures in the parliament for the inaugural sitting on Monday.

“The authorities have confused the place of hostilities and border tensions, turning the National Assembly into a ‘training ground’,” he wrote on Facebook.

“Large police forces are deployed outside, while there are countless numbers of National Security Service officers wearing combat uniforms inside. A mood to dig trenches and install military infrastructures has gripped the National Assembly,” the MP said.

“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
