YEREVAN, MAY 9, ARMENPRESS. U.S. Ambassador to Armenia Kristina Kvien, together with the U.S. defense attaché Colonel Gregory Pipes , visited Victory Park in Yerevan on May 9 to lay a wreath at the Eternal Flame at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the U.S. embassy said in a press release.

“Ambassador Kvien and Colonel Pipes laid a wreath at the Eternal Flame in Yerevan’s Victory Park to honor the contributions and sacrifices made by the Armenian people to defeat the Nazis and end World War II,” the U.S. embassy said.

The British Embassy’s Chargé d'Affaires Paul Morris also laid a wreath at the monument on May 9.

“To commemorate Victory Day, Chargé d'Affaires of the British Embassy Yerevan Paul Morris laid a wreath at the Eternal Flame at the Victory Park. We remember with profound gratitude the huge sacrifices made by all Allies during the Second World War in the fight against tyranny,” the British embassy said in a statement.

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
