The Acting Minister of Defense of Armenia, Davit Tonoyan, has issued a congratulatory message on the coming New Year, to the servicemen and servicewomen of the Armenian Armed Forces.

“The year 2018 became phenomenal in the public and political life of our country,” the message reads, in particular. “A new system of governance, a new military and political leadership of the country, but our task is the same: To ensure the peace of Armenia and Artsakh [Nagorno-Karabakh], with a high[-level] readiness.

“Any reality taking place in the country, in reality, is secondary, third to the tasks of ensuring security, [and] at whose center is our modern army.”

“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
