Statement by the President on the Occasion Armenian National Day
The people of the United States join the people of Armenia in
celebrating Armenia’s day of independence today. We deeply value the
many cultural and historic ties that bind our two countries. The United
States gains strength as a nation from the contributions of so many
Americans of Armenian ancestry. We congratulate the people of Armenia on
their national day.

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
