The Armenian section of the Galouste Gulbenkian Foundation, once
again, has provided a grant of $25,000 to the Armenian Revolutionary
Federation Archives Institute for digitizing the vast archives of
the organization.

Institute Executive Director, Vatche Proodian, expressed his gratitude
to the Foundation for the response to the grant request.

He thanked the Foundation’s Armenian section directors Martin Esayan
and Zaven Yegavian for this new grant and added that just like the
previous grant, the funds will be allocated toward digitizing the
archives and their respective indices.

Proodian also added that the digitizing project is already underway.

“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
