and is a member of the World Armenian Congress and is currently in
her native country for the purpose of taking part in the two-day
conference of the World Aremnian Congress, is led by the following
slogan: "We are strong when we are united." According to her, this
initiative of the Armenian Congress is a great step towards uniting
Armenian young people, who live in all corners of the world as well
as towards their becoming more acquainted with their native language,
history, as well as their native country.

During the conversation with a Noyan Tapan correspondent

problems need general solutions."

fair solutions should be found for the Karabakh issue and the Armenian
cause. In addition to this, according to Norayr Hovsephian, the youth
of Nagorno Karabakh do not see any other variant of the Karabakh
conflict settlement except one, according to which the Republic of
Nagorno Karabakh should be independent. "The fair settlement of
the Karabakh conflict concerns not only the Armenians, who live
in Nagorno Karabakh, but also the national security of Armenia,"
Norayr Hovsephian said and added that one should not be afraid of
"becoming one nation and two countries," just on the contrary, one
should be able to make use of the positive sides of this circumstance.

In the opinion of Diana Khachatrian, the representative of Georgia

kinds of conferences, taking into consideration the experience of
developing countries, is to work out and implement programs which

participant in the conference, the main goal of his participation
in the World Armenian Congress is to achieve desired success through
implementation of united work, as well as programs worked out at the
conference: this, in particular, concerns the fair settlement of the
Armenian cause.

“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
