YEREVAN. – Rumors, gossips, putting a condition, etc. is not serious. Foreign Minister of Armenia Zohrab Mnatsakanyan stated this at a press conference Friday, and referring to the reports that Russian President Vladimir Putin has put a condition before the Armenian authorities to release second President Robert Kocharyan from custody, prior to his expected forthcoming visit to capital city Yerevan.

“There are domestic political, or domestic legal, judicial matters,” he said. “And my sole response just here is: please take our principle more seriously because we take our principle very seriously.”

“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
