Aysor, Armenia
Dec 26 2009

Today, Armenia’s President Serge Sargsyan hosted more than two hundred
media representatives for a New Year party.

`In a few days we are saying good buy to 2009 which was full of
developments and memorable and notable events. It’s not a secret that
you influence the society through words and position that you voice.
So, you write Armenia’s chronicles. And I wish these chronicles to be
true and impartial.

`I wish you all a very happy New Year and Christmas, and I wish you
all good wishes for 2010. I wish you a world of cheer and joyous news.
I wish you to expand your audience by only good news on science and
sport victories and other happy developments.

`I take this opportunity to thank all journalists who covered
government’s activities in the outgoing year. I believe, we
contributed to the progress and development of our state and nation
through covering various and oppositional opinions. And the upcoming
year will make good on this,’ said President Sargsyan.

“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
