Sri Lanka will donate a she elephant to Armenia in response to a
request by the Armenian Government to consolidate bilateral friendly
relations between the two countries.

The Cabinet has approved a memorandum submitted in this connection,
the Government Information Department said.

Director General National Zoological Gardens H. Dissanayake said
accordingly a nine-year-old she elephant named ‘Asokamala’ from the
Pinnawela Elephant Orphanage will be sent to Armenia shortly.

He said as a reciprocal gesture Armenia has pledged to offer further
training to Sri Lankan veterinary surgeons and gift a set of its
endemic animals to Sri Lanka.

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
