 18:13,

YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 27, ARMENPRESS. Deputy Prime Minister Tigran Khachatryan Monday hosted World Bank Regional Director for the South Caucasus Rolande Pryce.

Welcoming the guests, Tigran Khachatryan  briefed  Rolande Pryce on the humanitarian situation resulting from the forced displacement of more than 100,000 people from Nagorno-Karabakh, as well as the measures implemented by the Government to overcome it, the Deputy Prime Minister’s Office said.

According to the source,  World Bank Regional Director for the South Caucasus assured that the World Bank is ready to support Armenia in effective management of the situation.

It is noted that during the meeting, the interlocutors discussed a wide range of issues related to bilateral cooperation, including irrigation, drinking water, healthcare, and several other areas.

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
