YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 25, ARMENPRESS: President of the United Armenian Fund
(UAF), Senior Vice President of the Lincy Foundation Harut Sassounian,
has extended congratulations to Serzh Sarkisian on his election as
President of the Republic of Armenia. The congratulatory message states
in part: "Your Excellency President-Elect Serzh Sarkisian, I would
like to congratulate you upon your election as Armenia’s 3rd President.

Given your long years of service in various leadership positions,
great achievements are expected from you for the benefit of the
Armenian nation.

I hope you would establish the position of Minister for Diaspora
Relations and expedite the adoption of a law on dual citizens, in
line with the recently adopted constitution, so that all Armenians
worldwide can contribute to the creation of prosperous homeland.

Armenia and the Diaspora working hand in hand can accomplish much
more than separately.

You can count on the support of all Armenians in carrying out your
patriotic duties. Once again, congratulations on your victory."

“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
