US Vice President Joe Biden on Thursday made the Obama administration’s
highest-level comments yet on the historic moves toward reconciliation
between Turkey and Armenia, the Washington Post reported.

Biden spoke by phone with Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan, and a
statement from Biden’s office said the vice president told him that
he welcomed Wednesday’s announcement from Armenia and Turkey of a
breakthrough in normalizing ties after years of bitter tensions.

"The vice president applauded President Sargsyan’s leadership, and
underscored the administration’s firm support for both Armenia and
Turkey in this process," the statement said.

“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
