Yerevan, 30 March: The presence of Armenian delegation at a ceremony
to open the Armenian St Cross Church in Turkey was necessary, Armenian
Acting Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan told journalists today.

However, it would be better if Turkey made more specific steps towards
improving the Armenian-Turkish relations, and open the border. This
would be a helpful step in overcoming all the existing problems,
Oskanyan said.

"Let’s not forget that we are talking about an Armenian cultural
monument. It belongs to us, we had to send our delegation at least
to show the world that it is our monument, our church," Oskanyan said.

Emil Lazarian: “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
