ETCHMIADZIN. – Catholicos of All Armenians Karekin II sent a congratulatory message to Kirill, the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia, on his 75th birthday, reported the Information Center of the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin. The message reads as follows, in particular:

"We highly appreciate your warm attitude towards the Armenian Church and the Armenian people, which is also manifested by your care and tireless efforts for ensuring a peaceful settlement of the Karabakh conflict, the preservation of the Armenian spiritual heritage, and the safe operation of Dadivank [Monastery in Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh)]."

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
