Kocharian: Activities of Radio Liberty Aimed at Shattering Statehood

ACCORDING TO ROBERT KOCHARIAN, ACTIVITIES OF RADIO LIBERTY IN ARMENIA
AIMED AT SHATTERING THE BASES OF COUNTRY’S STATEHOOD

YEREVAN, APRIL 5, NOYAN TAPAN. "I respect more those Armenian mass
media outlets that deal themselves with their problems in Armenia and
are not financed by other governments, while working in Armenia," the
president Robert Kocahrian said during a briefing with reporters,
declining to answer Radio Liberty correspondent’s question about what
he will do after the end of his term of office.

"I have decided not to answer now because what you do is aimed at
shattering the bases of Armenian statehood. And I cannot view it
positively," he said.

When the correspondent addressed him with the request: "For Radio
Liberty’s audience – Armenian citiens, I ask you…", the Armenian
president replied: "Do not confuse your policy with respect to me and
the Republic of Armenia with Armenian citizens".

“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
