Official visit of Armenian president to Syria comes to end

YEREVAN, MARCH 26, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. The three-day
official visit of Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan to Syria finished
on March 24 with a trip to Deir es Zor where, in his words, "bereft of
home and property, bereft of children and parents, bereft of health
and the last hope, and finally bereft of the most important their
homeland, these people were doomed to lose the last thing they had –
their life in accordance with the state orchestrated and meticulously
developed plan of extermination".

The president attended the Honorary Consulate of the Republic of
Armenia, then he went to the Saint Martyrs Church in memory of the
victims of the Armenian Genocide where he delivered a speech, in which
he declared: "It is impossible to kill a nation that does not want to
die. We mean to live and to grow. It is no more possible to intimidate
or blackmail us since we have seen the most horrible".

According to the Public Television Company of Armenia, the president
returned from Damascus with a package of agreements on the development
of political, cultural and economic cooperation.
