/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Four groups of trade unions organized an action to
protest the inauguration of the St. Cross Church. As a PanARMENIAN.Net
reporter came to know from the AAC Constantinople Partriarchy, a small
group of protesters were carrying Turkish flags and portraits of
Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. They were also carrying slogans reading `Turks
are a noble nation, they didn’t commit genocide.’ The initiators were
arrested.

“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
