24.04.2005 08:15

/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The victims of the Armenian Genocide were commemorated in
Nagorno Karabakh. Many thousands of people moved to the Stepanakert Memorial
Complex from the morning. 11 a.m. NKR leaders headed by President Arkady
Ghukasian came to lay flowers to the Memorial of the Victims of the Armenian
Genocide in Ottoman Turkey. Priests of the Artsakh Diocese of the Armenian
Apostolic Church offered a liturgy for the peace of the souls of the victims
of the tragedy. April 23 a number of youth organizations of Nagorno Karabakh
with the support of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport and
Stepanakert Administration arranged planting of trees around the Memorial.
The number of the trees planed totaled 90. Each of them has a label with the
name of the inhabited area, where the Armenian Genocide was held, Regnum
news agency reported.

Emil Lazarian: “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
