The Azerbaijani side banned the Armenian pilgrims from entering the Dadivank Monastery on Sunday, demanding to provide the names of visitors, Primate of the Artsakh Diocese Archbishop Vrtanes Abrahamyan told Armenpress.

“Previously, the Azerbaijani side would demand only the number of pilgrims visiting Dadivank, no more than 30 people. Now they require the list with the names of visitors,” the Primate said.

Therefore, he added, the names of pilgrims will be provided this Sunday to avoid difficulties entering Dadivank.

“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
