France FM-led delegation to arrive in Armenia for First Republic, May
battle celebrations



YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 3, ARMENPRESS. Exhibitions, lectures, concerts,
discussions – numerous events are planned in France on the occasion of
the 100th anniversary of the First Republic of Armenia and the May
Battles.

Murad Papazyan, co-chair of the Coordination Council of Armenian
Organizations of France (CCAF) told a press conference that the events
will be held nationwide – in various cities.

“This year is significant for Armenia, it is the 100th anniversary of
two important events. It is a very good occasion to carry out
information work in order for the international community to be
informed about these important chapters of our history, how the
Armenian people were able to create statehood in 1918, after the 1915
genocide”, he said.

He said the CCAF will actively participate in upcoming events in
Armenia as wlel.

In the end of May, an official delegation from France, led by the
minister of foreign affairs, will arrive in Armenia on this occasion.
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
