Yesterday evening acting head of Yerevan office "Azatutyun" radio
station Hrach Melkumyan has been severely beaten.

"At around 21.30 – 22. 00 I was coming home. I was passing through
Mashtots avenue. Suddenly I heard someone calling my name. I approached
this person to see who is he and he started to beat me. He was a middle
aged well-built guy. While beating me he was abusing the programs of
radio station "Azatutyun".

“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
