YEREVAN. – Hraparak daily of Armenia writes: We were told that a noteworthy conversation took place between NA [National Assembly] vice speaker Alen Simonyan and the Russian ambassador during one of the meetings with the Russian ambassador to Armenia.

In particular, when the ambassador remarked, 'Unspeakably many criminal cases are initiated in your country, which do not reach any point; there is no judicial act made in 2 years, you are busy pursuing the former [officials],' Alen Simonyan did not leave him unanswered and countered, 'And how is it that all the ‘wanted’ former [Armenian officials] take refuge in Russia?’

The ambassador said only one word, "Is it?"



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
