YEREVAN, July 1. /ARKA/. An international conference “Armenian Bible”
is to be held in the Holy See of Echmiadzin on October 6-9, 2005. The
press service of the Holy Echmiadzin reports that the conference will
be held under the patronage of His Holiness Garegin II as part of
celebrations of the 1600th anniversary of creation of the Armenian
alphabet. Archimandrite Vahan Hovhannisyan is responsible for the
organization of the conference. “The Holy Book plays the central role
in the rites and bibliography of the Armenian Church. It inspired
theologians, chroniclers, miniaturists, musicians, and experts on
church rituals,” a press release says. The Holy Echmiadzin invites
the scholars engaged in translating the Bible into Armenian to take
part in the conference. P.T. -0–

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
