Monument dedication held in Troy

TROY, N.Y. – The Knights and Daughters of Vartan dedicated the
Armenian Heritage Monument at the newly renovated Troy Riverfront Park
on Sunday.

Armenian clergy led a brief monument dedication service.

The event is the culmination of the Knights and Daughter of Vartan’s
effort to recognize the Armenians who settled in and around the city
of Troy at the turn of the last century as survivors from the Armenian
Genocide of 1915.

“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
