Yerevan June 14

Naira Badalyan. The Armenian government makes adjustments to the media's information about the amount of expenses for the visit of the delegation led by Deputy Prime Minister Tigran Avinyan to the United States and Canada. It is reported that in the material "Tigran Avinyan and his team of 2 people spent 7 million 464 thousand AMD during the 6-day working visit" there was a misprint in the amount of financial expenses for the visit. In particular, as is said in the government's explanation, the total amount of financial expenditures from the state budget of Armenia for a working visit to the US and Canada of the delegation led by Tigran Avinyan in the period from June 26 to July 2 was 4.857.000 AMD, and not 7.464.597, as was noted in the early information.

“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
