YEREVAN, AUGUST 15, ARMENPRESS. President of Russia Vladimir Putin sent a letter of condolences to Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan on the deadly explosion that hit a market in Yerevan on August 14.

“I express my deepest condolences on the occasion of the deaths that were caused by the fire in a trade center in Yerevan. Please, convey to the families of the victims words of most sincere sympathy and support, and wishes of speedy recovery to all those injured,” President Putin said in the letter published by the Kremlin.

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
