YEREVAN, MARCH 4, ARMENPRESS. Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman, Senator Bob Menendez calls for U.S. leadership in securing Azerbaijan's release of Armenian POWs – still illegally held (and openly abused) by Baku more than 100 days after the end of fighting, ARMENPRESS was informed from the Armenian National Committee of America.

''We must help the people of Armenia and contribute to the efforts aimed at the return of the Armenian war prisoners kept in Azerbaijan. We must do what the previous administration failed to do'', Menendez said, adding that all efforts should be made for the return of all the war prisoners.

“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
