/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Armenian community of Bulgaria makes some 10
thousand people. They are all Bulgarian citizens, Bulgarian Ambassador
to Armenia Stefan Dimitrov said in an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net.
According to him, this is the data obtained during the latest census
in 2001. As much Armenian citizens having a permanent residence in
Bulgaria are engaged in small and middle business mostly. `There are
27 Armenian churches in all the cities where Armenians live. I should
stress that our churches experience no discrepancies. Besides, there
are schools in Plovdiv, Sofia, Bourgas and Varna, where the Armenian
language is taught. The Armenian language chair functions in the Sofia
University. I am glad that the Armenian community of Bulgaria reveals
its best characteristic as a rule,’ the Ambassador 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
