The Armenians of Denmark expressed their support to environmental
activists struggling against construction in Mashtots park in Yerevan
downtown.

`We are concerned with the complicated situation around the Mashtots
Park, and Teghut forest and always follow the developments around
these issues. We join your claim to stop the construction in the
park, remove the trade booths and leave the park to its owners – the
residents of Yerevan,’ they said in a letter.

They also mentioned that consider activists’ actions a precedent and a
good example of protecting public property and voicing out injustice.

The Armenians of Denmark also called on the international
organizations in Armenia and Diaspora groups to pursue the issue and
express their support to the public activism.

“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
