Armenian President Pledges Continued Assistance To Syrian Armenians

ARMENIAN PRESIDENT PLEDGES CONTINUED ASSISTANCE TO SYRIAN ARMENIANS

Shanghai Daily, China
May 30 2013

YEREVAN, Armenia, May 30 (Xinhua) — Armenian President Serzh
Sargsyan pledged on Thursday to continue assistance to Armenians
living in Syria.

“We as a state and as a people have provided support for our brothers
and sisters, and will continue to do so regardless of where they
live – in Armenia or Syria,” he said at a session of the Hayastan
All-Armenian Fund. Hayastan means Armenia in Armenian.

The Armenian government has mulled a plan to build apartment buildings
in three cities to house Armenians fleeing war-torn Syria. The number
of returned Armenian nationals is estimated at 6,000.

About 100,000 Armenians lived in Syria before the civil war broke
out in 2011.

Emil Lazarian: “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
