International Women’s Day (IWD) is being marked in Armenia, as well
as in many other countries.

Despite gloomy weather, there is a festive mood is Yerevan. Men are
hurrying to buy presents for their sweethearts.

The holiday met a difficult fate in Armenia – it was once abolished,
along with Victory Day, as a Soviet holiday. Under public pressure,
the IWD was later re-established as a holiday and is now one of the
most favorite holidays in Armenia.

NEWS.am congratulates all girls and women on this holiday.

“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
