 14:55,

YEREVAN, JUNE 28, ARMENPRESS. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan spoke by phone today with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

PM Pashinyan congratulated President Erdogan on Kurban Bayramı (Eid al-Adha), while the latter conveyed congratulations on upcoming Vardavar, the holiday celebrating the Transfiguration of Jesus Christ, to the Armenian leader, the Prime Minister’s Office said in a readout.

The Armenia-Turkey normalization process was discussed. In this context, the course of implementation of the agreement on opening the land border for diplomatic passport holders and citizens of third countries was discussed.

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
