YEREVAN, JUNE 17, NOYAN TAPAN. By breaking the agreement made
beforehand, the Congress hotel has refused to give a hall to
the Helsinki Civil Assembly, the members of which were going to
organize a discussion there on June 18. As Natalya Martirosian, the
representative of the Assembly, stated on June 17, a collaborator
of the security of the hotel informed her that "we cannot give you
a hall as we have a corresponding instruction", not clarifying who
has given that instruction. In the words of Natalya Martirosian, this
is already the fifth time hotels have refused to give a hall for the
holding of events to political and non-governmental organizations.

“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
