On July 4, the United States of America celebrates the 231st
anniversary of its independence and the signing of the Declaration of
Independence on that day in 1776.

On July 3, Americans and Armenians jointly marked the day at a
celebration at the US Embassy in Armenia. During the event, US ChargÃ©
d’Affaires Anthony Godfrey stated, `Two hundred and thirty one years
ago, our founding fathers declared that our basic rights are granted
not by the state, not by a king or president, but by our Creator.’ He
added that `US ` Armenia relations are strong. We share a vision for
our families of a world without fear of terror, where our children can
grow strong and free.’ He also took note of the strong
Armenian-American community in the United States and their contribution
in helping to make America great and in strengthening the bonds between
the two countries.

“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
