Soon the construction of St. Anna Church will start in the center
of Yerevan: "The territory is allocated to the church. The Yerevan
based Residence of the Catholicos of All Armenians will be built
near Katoghike Church and a new church – in the backside of Katoghike
Church. The Church will be named St. Anna. In essence the new church
will be located in the backside of the 12th century Church pushing to
the foreground the historical memorial built with red tufa. We intend
to build the new church with granite, the gray color of which will turn
into a background for the small red-stone church, " architect Hrachya
Poghosyan, the author of the architectural project to be realized in
the location neighboring Katoghike Church in Sayat-Nova-Abovyan area,
told our correspondent.

“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
