  • Representatives from Nagorno-Karabakh, Azerbaijan and the Russian peacekeeping contingent met again to discuss the restoration of unimpeded travel along the Lachin corridor.
  • More than two dozen non-governmental organizations and public figures in Armenia issued a joint statement lambasting the Armenian government’s decision last week to resume operations at the long-stalled Amulsar gold mine.

“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
