in the south of Armenia.

Communication, the highway that runs from Yerevan to Kajaran and
extends towards the southernmost town of Meghri has been shut

Road constructors are now trying to open a temporary highway along the
river of Meghri. Drivers are meanwhile recommended to travel along an
alternative road that lies between the towns of Kapan and Meghri,

“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
