In the Croatian city Rieca continues the European chess tournaments
for men and women. In the 4 round of the men’s tournament the
representatives of Armenia had only 4 victories.

Unfortunately the leaders couldn’t keep the upper places because of the
defeats and draws. The highest results were for Robert Hovhannisyan,
Gabriel Sargsyan, Hrant Melkumyan, Tigran L. Petrosyan and Samvel
Ter-Sahakyan who have received 3 points each and concede Jobava and
Efimenko, who are in the second position, with 1-2 points.

In the tournament for women Lilit Galoyan is having excellent games
and now with half points concedes only Monika Sochko who is the only
participant who has 100% result.

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
