YEREVAN.- An extraordinary congress of Pan-Armenian National Movement
is being held on Saturday in Yerevan.

Movement members express dissatisfaction with an intention to rename
the movement as “Armenian National Congress Party.”

The party convened a congress to discuss renaming of the movement and
formation of Armenian National Congress Party. The members were handed
in the draft decision.

A few days ago, 28 people applied to the Ministry of Justice to create
a party called “Armenian National Congress.” Talking to Armenian
News-NEWS.am Petros Makeyan, leader of Democratic Homeland Party, said
a new party is not created. Only the name of the Pan-Armenian
National Movement will be changed.

“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
