YEREVAN, June 13 (Itar-Tass) — Armenian Parliament Speaker Tigran
Torosian reaffirmed the wish of Yerevan to become a European Union
member on Tuesday.

"The accession to the European Union is a foreign political priority
of Armenia," he said at a meeting with a delegation of the NATO
Parliamentary Assembly. "As for NATO, Armenia has not declared its
wish to become a member of the alliance. Some EU member countries
are not affiliated to NATO, and this is absolutely normal," he said.

“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
