“Gyumri has the experience of choosing the right direction, if you look at the results of the elections, you will see that Gyumri made a mistake in its choice in very few cases. In some cases, the elected deputy or other official could not live up to the expectations of the people of Gyumri, in all other cases, the people of Gyumri made the right choice.

As for the issue of organizing new elections in Gyumri after the national elections, which Nikol Pashinyan is talking about, then it cannot be within the limits of the law.

“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
