The Republic of Armenia is still without a national anthem. The
coalition parties, the Republicans and the ARF Dashnaktsutyun, have
not come to an agreement in this connection. The ARF does not put
up with the idea of making "Our Homeland" a transitional anthem,
according to the Government offer.

Member of the ARF Gegham Manoukyan thinks that "Our Homeland" is the
best and reminds that two days ago when it was performed in Armavir
as a state anthem, everyone stood up.

The ARF was also against sending Armenian peace-keepers to Iraq next
year, but according to Manoukyan, this does not mean that the coalition
has dissolved. According to him, there can always be disagreements
when it comes to important issues.

“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
