INDEPENDENCE IS A HOVERING BIRD

Independence is invaluable though it is gained through blood, sweat and
pain. The fruits of independence are bitter and yet independence is
sweet. Once you close a bird in a cage it will struggle for freedom
and once you deprive a man of his freedom, his heart will break
from impotence.

The Republic of Armenia is 16 years old. On September 21, 1991,
the Armenian people proclaimed independence by saying "yes" at the
referendum. They chose the path of independence without its further
outcome.

Independence is one of the greatest achievements of the Armenians
worldwide despite the losses and difficulties of the past 16 years.

We congratulate all Armenians on this great holiday -on the
Independence Day. Let Armenia’s independence be eternal.

“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
