The mayor of Ejmiatsin, Armenia, Diana Gasparyan has responded to a press report that the Municipality of Ejmiatsin will purchase gold rings with diamond stones.

"The Municipality of Ejmiatsin will not buy, but has already bought, gold rings with diamond stones which it presented as a gift to the Ejmiatsin-resident newlyweds on February 13 of this year, within the framework of the feast devoted to Candlemass day," Gasparyan wrote, in particular, on Facebook. “The couples who received the rings will confirm that they are not luxurious and expensive; they rather have a symbolic meaning and are a little attention from the municipality.

We have worked and are working openly and transparently, have served and are serving the well-being of our beloved city."

“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
