Armenia will extend the ban on import of Turkish goods for another six months. The relevant decision was made at the government sitting today.

“The ban on the import of goods of Turkish origin not only imposes an economic sanction on Turkey, but also suspends the financial flows to the Turkish state treasury from Armenian sources for security reasons,” Vahan Kerobyan said at the cabinet meeting.

At the same time, he said, the penetration of various dangers through the import of final consumer goods from a hostile country is prevented.

The six-month ban was introduced on December 31 was to expire on July 1.

“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
