PanARMENIAN.Net – Armenian judoka Susanna Stepanyan (40 kg weight category) has become the European champion among juniors, reports the press service of the National Olympic Committee.

At the European Junior Championships, held in Warsaw, Poland, the athlete from the twon of Gyumri secured three victories and reached the final to beat Luca Mamira, the Hungarian representative, too.

More than 300 athletes from 30 countries are taking part in the European Championships.

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
