French President Francois Hollande has sent a letter to His Holiness
Aram I, the Catholicos of the Great House of Cilicia, in response to
the latter’s message of condolences over the terrorist acts in France.

The letter reads, in part:

“I would like to express gratitude to you for your sympathy,
support and friendship offered at a time France’s heart was hit by
an indescribably terrible and dreadful terrorist attack.

France will not give in to obscurantism and will continue to be the
flagman of our fundamental values – freedom, tolerance, justice and
peace on both national and international level.”

“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
