A magnitude 3.7 earthquake rattled Armenia on February 6, at 00:06 local time (20:06 Greenwich time), the National Survey for Seismic Protection reports.

The quake struck 5 km northeast of the village of Shorzha in Gegharkunik province and measured 5 on the Richter scale at the epicenter.

The tremor was felt in Gegharkunik and Tavush provinces.

A magnitude 4.7 earthquake was registered in the same area at 19: 36 on Friday. Minor destructions were reported in several villages.

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
