Armenian Prime Minister Margarian dies of heart attack

Armenian Prime Minister Andranik Margarian died of a heart attack
Sunday morning in the Armenian capital Yerevan. Margarian had become
Prime Minister of Armenia in 2000, in the days following the bloody
attack which took place on the country’s parliament during which 8
high ranked politicians were killed, including the prime minister at
the time, Vazgen Sarkisian.

He had been leader of the country’s ruling party, the Republic
Party. Following Margarian’s death, Armenian President Robert
Kocharian called for an immediate emergency meeting of the government
cabinet ministers.

“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
