MEGHRI, MAY 18, NOYAN TAPAN. On May 15 the bed of the Arax River
rose by about 80 cm, as a result of which the water pumps Alvank,
Shvanidzor and Arax 1 used for irrigation of the city of Meghri and
adjacent areas were covered with water. NT correspondent was informed
at Meghri mayor’s office that the engines of pumps Alvank and Arax 1
were removed, while that of Shvanidzor remained under the water. After
the rains stopped, the river-bed has relatively dropped. No other
incidents have been registered.

“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
