Armenia – May 4 2022

A group of American Armenian youth held a protest rally, with the national flags of Armenia and Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh), during a dinner at the embassy of Armenia in Washington, D.C.,—and in honor of visiting Armenian foreign minister Ararat Mirzoyan.

Also, these youth held banners that read, "No to Armenian-Turkish and Armenian-Azeri protocols." They demanded to stand up for Artsakh, and to stop the Armenian-Turkish negotiations.

Upon learning about FM Mirzoyan's visit Tuesday, these American Armenian youth had brought thorny, black roses and a Turkish flag to outside the Armenian embassy.

Armenian foreign minister Ararat Mirzoyan is on a working visit to Washington, D.C., since Monday.

“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
