Armenia’s Ombudsman Arman Tatoyan has sent a congratulatory message to the representatives of the country’s Assyrian community on the occasion of the Assyrian New Year (Kha b-Nisan).

The congratulatory message reads as follows:

“Dear representatives of the Assyrian community in Armenia,

I congratulate you all on the occasion of Assyrian New Year (Kha b-Nisan).

May this ancient holiday, which symbolizes the rebirth of nature, bring peace and welfare to the friendly Assyrian people.

As Human Rights Defender, I believe it is important that the national minorities residing in Armenia have the opportunity to preserve and enhance their national values and traditions and make their dignified contributions to the development of Armenia.”


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
