The Armenian Assembly of America congratulates the people of the
Republic of Armenia on the May 12th Parliamentary elections. These
elections are an historic step toward a fully democratic Armenia, a
goal to which Armenia has demonstrated its commitment and leadership
in the region through democratic reforms. We encourage the people
of Armenia to continue to remain actively involved in the country’s
political and civic life.

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
