news.am, Armenia

YEREVAN. – Athletes representing Armenia continue winning at the European Boxing Championships being held in Kharkiv, Ukraine.

This time Karen Tonakanyan defeated İbrahim Gökçek (Turkey) and advanced to the round of 16 in the 60kg competition, informed the press service of the Boxing Federation of Armenia.

Four of Armenia’s representatives, who already have started their campaign in this tournament, have won all of their bouts so far.

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
