YEREVAN. – In Armenia former Volunteers’ Union Yerkrapah members
released a statement recently, according to which over 50 Yerkrapah
members applied to the head of the Union Manvel Grigoryan to suspend
their membership to such a subservient organization, Zhamanaki Mitk
daily reports.

They claim the reason is ‘inner disagreements’ and did not participate
the Union’s last week meeting. The inner disagreements are based on
Grigoryan’s statements that he would support the ruling Republican
Party of Armenia (RPA) in the upcoming parliamentary elections and
the incumbent President Serzh Sargsyan’s candidacy in the presidential
elections next year.

“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
