The President of Parliament of the National Assembly of the Republic
of Armenia, Hovik Abrahamyan, issued a New Year message, which states:

"Dear compatriots,

At the New Year Eve we usually sum up what we have done and what we
have not done, plan the programs for the next year. Sure, the passing
year was a year of challenges and achievements.

Assessing the year 2008, we should note that a period of post-election
reforms started in Armenia after the elections of 2007 and 2008,
at the end of which we can state that our country has made another
step on the way of establishment of democracy and improvement of the
socio-economic conditions.

As Chairman of the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia,
I want to wish to all our compatriots living in and outside Armenia
peace, tolerance and success. We are living a hard but interesting
period and have all the preconditions for leaving a more prosperous,
stable and developed Armenia to our generations.

I wish you Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and wish you peace,
health and happiness."

“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
