YEREVAN, APRIL 4, ARMENPRESS: Ian Porterfield, Armenia’s Scottish
coach, is recovering at his Armenian home after leaving hospital
where he received treatment for cancer of the colon, Armenian Football
Federation said today.

Porterfield, 61, went into hospital for checks a few weeks ago after
complaining of pains in his pelvic area, and tests revealed the tumor.

He had to decide whether to return to Britain for treatment, travel to
America or stay in Armenia and in the end decided to stay in Armenia
because of a lack of time.

The Football Federation said he will be back to his team in a couple
of weeks.

“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
