The weightlifting team of Armenia is very strong and can be a serious
rival for any team. Secretary General of RA Weightlifting Federation
Pashik Alaverdyan told Armenpress that 10 years ago Armenian sportsmen
performed well at the World Championship, which was also held in the
Chingmay city of Thailand.

According to him, the victory of the Armenian team in the European
Championship in Strasbourg evidences that great attention will be
paid to Armenian weightlifters. Sportsmen from Russia, China, Iran
and Thailand will become serious rivals for the Armenian team in the
World Championship to be held in September in Chingmay. In Pashik
Alaverdyan’s words, this tournament is very important for achieving
permits to participate to the Olympic Games in Beijing.

“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
