The Ministry of Defense reiterates it possesses no information about the presence of any Armenian soldiers in the Islamic Republic of Iran.

The Ministry reminds that had discussions with its Iranian counterparts on the issue months ago, and the reports that there could be Armenian soldiers in Iran were not conformed.

Earlier today the Embassy of Iran in Armenia also refuted the claims that 160 Armenian servicemen were in Iran, and the Iranian side had posed preconditions for their repatriation.

The Embassy called the reports “false and unfounded.”

“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
