Russian President Vladimir Putin will attend ceremonies marking 100
years since the mass killings of Armenians under the Ottoman Empire
in April, the Kremlin said on Thursday.

Armenia is hosting the commemoration for those killed by Ottoman
forces in World War I in its capital on April 24.

“Yes, he will fly to Yerevan,” Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov told
AFP, adding the Russian leader had discussed the issue with his
Armenian counterpart Serzh Sarkisian by telephone on Thursday.

“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
