YEREVAN, Armenia — Armenia’s defense minister met with a visiting
U.S. diplomat Saturday to discuss prospects for military cooperation.
Defense Minister Serzh Sarkisian told U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary
of State Laura Kennedy that Armenia values military ties with the
United States and hopes to develop them. Kennedy, in turn, thanked
the Armenian government for its readiness to send peacekeepers to Iraq.
Armenian President Robert Kocharian pledged the troops during a visit
to Poland last month, but the nation’s prime minister said Friday
that it was up to the Constitutional Court and parliament to make
the final decision on sending some 50 troops.

Emil Lazarian: “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
