/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The International Olympic Committee announced in
Copenhagen that rugby and golf will return to the Games in 2016 in
Rio de Janeiro.

Rugby and golf both made their Olympic debuts at the second modern
games in Paris in 1900. Golf was played again only at the 1904 St.

Louis Games, and 15-a-side rugby was featured three more times,
its last appearance in the 1924 Paris Olympics.

Their status for the 2020 Olympics will be reviewed by the IOC in 2017.

“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
