YEREVAN. Dec 1 (Interfax) – Armenia will not participate in the
conference of the Council of Europe culture ministers in Baku, Armenian
culture minister spokeswoman Naira Yegiazarian told Interfax on Monday.

"The Armenian delegation will not participate in the conference of the

Earlier Azeri Culture and Labor Minister Abulfaz Karayev said the
Azeri side would create all conditions for Armenian participation.

“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
