YEREVAN, Sept 6 2008

Several hundred demonstrators formed a human chain Saturday along the
road to Yerevan’s airport to protest against Turkish President
Abdullah Gul’s visit to Armenia, an AFP reporter said.

Gul was expected to arrive at 1200 GMT for the historic visit, the
first to Armenia by a Turkish president, and travel from the airport
to a meeting with Armenian President Serzh Sarkisian.

“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
