YEREVAN. – The whereabouts of Samvel Babayan, the former Commander of
Nagorno-Karabakh Republic Defense Army, are still unknown, Zhoghovurd
daily writes.

“His family members assure that they not only do know where Babayan
is, but also assure that they not maintain contact with him during
this period.

‘What [kind of] question is this? Samvel is not in Armenia. I have no
contact with him whatsoever and I don’t know when he will return,’
Babayan’s wife Irina Babayan said during a telephone conversation
with us.

To note, Babayan had put up his and several of his friends’ homes as
bank collateral, more than a year ago, and disappeared.

He is believed to be in Moscow,” Zhoghovurd writes.

“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
