YEREVAN, AUGUST 29, ARMENPRESS. On August 29, Minister of Defense Suren Papikyan held a meeting with the U.S. Chargé d'Affaires in Armenia William (Chip) Laitinen, and the newly appointed Defense Attaché, Colonel Kevin Steele.

“The Minister of Defense congratulated Colonel Kevin Steele on the occasion of commencing the mission in Armenia and wished fruitful cooperation,” the Ministry of Defense said in a readout. “A range of topics related to the current status of the Armenia-U.S. Defense Cooperation and its development prospects, as well as regional security, were discussed,” it added.

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
