Now we can read volume one of Richard Hovhannisyan’s English-language
“The Republic of Armenia” book also in Armenian. The Armenian
translation of the book was presented today at the Union of
Writers. The inclusive history of 1918-1919 has been created on the
basis of rich archive materials, which point out the declaration of
republic in 1918 and the challenges of the time.

It took the writer about 30 years to write the three-year story of
the republic.

The book thoroughly presents the territorial disagreements over
Borchalu, Akhalkalak, Kars, Ardahan, Nagorno-Karabakh, Zangezur
and Nakhijevan.

“Richard Hovhannisyan’s historic investigations were considered
prohibited literature in Soviet era,” noted Ashot Melkonyan, Director
of History of the National Academy of Sciences.

“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
