Members of the Artsakh delegation on Thursday met with representatives of the Armenian community structures in Sydney, Australia.

The head of the delegation, Foreign Minister Masis Mayilian and member of the National Assembly of Artsakh David Ishkhanyan delivered speeches at the meeting. The speakers presented the foreign and domestic policy of Artsakh and answered the numerous questions of the participants, the Artsakh Foreign Ministry's press service reported.

During the event, Executive Director of the Armenian National Committee (Hay Dat) of Australia Haig Kayserian announced the establishment of a Circle of Friendship with Artsakh in Australia. On behalf of the committee, he handed a special memorable plaque to Masis Mayilian with the list of members of the Friendship Circle with Artsakh.

Members of the Federal Parliament, senators, ministers, as well as the prime minister of New South Wales, the speakers of the Upper and Lower Houses of the Parliament of the state, scientists, clergymen and cultural figures have joined the Friendship Circle. The circle currently includes about 40 members.

The Artsakh FM expressed confidence that a similar Circle of Friendship with Australia would be established in Artsakh.

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
