"Because of the war in Ukraine, we will face a deep food crisis in the next 12-18 months, especially in countries that are heavily dependent on Russia in the Middle East and Africa, so Europe must be ready for the challenge, both for itself and for its partners."

“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
