GORIS, AUGUST 29, NOYAN TAPAN. 133 girls and women whose name is Tatev
were christened in the Tatev monastery on August 25 on the occasion
of its foundation. Initiators of the event were the Syunik Regional
Governor’s Office and the Syunyats diocese primacy. In Syunik Regional
Governor Surik Khachatrian’s words, the initiative was at the same
time aimed to show that sectarian structures have no place in Syunik,
and the only belief is Christianity and the Armenian Apostolic Church.

“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
