Armenia has condemned the attacks targeting Sri Lanka churches and hotels that have claimed over 100 lives.

“We are overwhelmed with terrifying reports coming from Sri Lanka. Hundreds of innocent souls were ruthlessly massacred on this Holiest of the days,” the Armenian Foreign Ministry said in a Twitter post.

“We stand in condemnation of these cowardly attacks, sending our deepest sympathies to the relatives of victims and wish speedy recovery to those injured,” the Ministry said.

Minister of Foreign Affairs Zohrab Mnatsakanyan described the mass murders and chaos as “the very violation of the message of Love on the Glorious Day of Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

“Our faith and solidarity with the people and the Government of Sri Lanka is as strong as ever. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families,” the Foreign Minister said.

The Foreign Ministry is working to find out whether there are Armenian nationals or ethnic Armenians among the casualties.

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
