Rep. Schiff, Serj Tankian have a lunch, talk about SOAD concert in Yerevan

Rep. Adam Schiff had a lunch yesterday with Serj Tankian from System of a Down.

“We have known each other for years and I greatly admire his music and creativity, as well as his deep commitment to philanthropy and passion for justice,”Rep. Schiff said in a Twitter post.

“I had read about the band’s electrifying performance in Yerevan during the centennial, and it was a treat to hear about it firsthand. It always rains in Yerevan on April 24 — like tears coming down from heaven, it is said — but nothing could dampen the spirits of the throngs of young people in attendance,” the Congressman added.

“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
