Sports: Three Armenian weightlifters set to participate at Summer Universiade

Panorama, Armenia

Three Armenian weightlifters are about to participate at Taipei 2017 Summer Universiade which will officially begin on 19 August.

Head Coach of Armenian weightlifting National team Pashik Alaverdyan told a press conference on Tuesday, informing Armenia will be represented by Andranik Karapetyan (85kg), Simon Martorisyan (105kg), and Gor Minasyan (+105kg).

Taipei 2017 Summer Universiade is expected to attract around 10,000 athletes from more than 120 countries, making it the biggest international multi-sport event Chinese Taipei has ever hosted.

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
