YEREVAN, March 15. /ARKA/. At his meeting with UN Representative
to Armenia Consuello Vidal Catholicos of All Armenians Garegin II
expressed his satisfaction with the assistance rendered to Armenia
by UN structures.

The sides also discussed the mission and activities of the Holy See
of Echmiadzin, the stronghold of the Armenian faith.

The sides broached the issue of destruction of Armenian monuments
at an ancient cemetery in Old Juga, Nakhichevan, Azerbaijan. The
Azerbaijani side started destroying Armenian khachkars (cross-stones)
as far back as 1998. The destruction was stopped after the European
countries condemned it. However, the acts of vandalism were resumed
in 2003 and later in December 2005.

“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
