THE U.S EMBASSY EXPRESSES ITS GRATITUDE

The U.S. Embassy, on behalf of the American people and the U.S. Government,
would like to express its heart-felt gratitude for Armenia’s generous
donation of $200,000 to Hurricane Katrina relief efforts.

The American people are touched and deeply grateful for the generous offers
of help we have received from the Armenian Government, and from governments,
individuals, and private organizations around the world.

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
