YEREVAN, JULY 21, ARMENPRESS. Pakistani rescue divers recovered two more bodies from two points in the River Indus — between Rahim Yar Khan and Guddu barrage — on Wednesday, bringing the total death toll from the boat accident to at least 28, DAWN newspaper reports.

A wooden boat carrying a marriage party from the Hussain Bux Solangi village capsized near Machhko due to overloading two days earlier.

Search operations for around two dozen missing persons are still ongoing.

“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
