YEREVAN. – Centuries-old history of the Armenian nation proves that it
can struggle and will continue doing so, head of History Institute at
the National Academy of Sciences Ashot Melkonyan said at the ninth
Congress of Yerkrapah (War Veterans”) Volunteer Union (YVU) on
Saturday.

`We sometimes review the events which happened 20 years ago as local
events separate from our 5000-year-old history. A historical event
occurred, stressing once again the role of our history in the world.
At the beginning of 1990s Armenians were faced with a problem; who
going to fight to protect the homeland. But the nation won and we
achieved independence and established a unique army.

I desire that Volunteer Union will turn one day into protectors of
historical homeland,’ Melkonyan concluded.

Emil Lazarian: “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
