Turkey by the western countries and by the Armenian Diaspora to
recognize the Armenian Genocide, the relations between the two peoples
in the sports area become stronger. The trainer of the football team
Samvel Petrosian told "Zaman" that "the "Piunik" has no problems in
Turkey". The daily reports that the teams will stay in Antalia within

“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
