Russification Makes Armenian Velvet Revolutionaries Feel Bad

RUSSIFICATION MAKES ARMENIAN VELVET REVOLUTIONARIES FEEL BAD
Yerevan, June 9. ArmInfo. The representative of the formerly ruling
Armenian National Movement party Aram Manukyan urges Armenian
journalists to fight against Russification.
He says that they on TV are beginning to speak Russian language much
too often. Even mobile services are being Russified. Manukyan is
resolved to fight for the present anthem inherited from the
Dashnaktsoutyun party. The anthem must be preserved not so much
because it calls for revenge but because of the idea of succession.

“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
