‘Great honor’ – Armenia’s flag-bearer on PyeongChang Paralympic Games opening ceremony


YEREVAN, MARCH 10, ARMENPRESS. Athlete Stas Nazaryan, Armenia’s flag-bearer at the opening ceremony of the Paralympic Games 2018, says it was an honor and great responsibility to represent his country to the world.

“I have positive impressions. Responsibility was great because we were representing Armenia, moreover because I was the flag bearer. It was a dream-like moment. Although this is already my 5th time at Paralympic Games, each of the game is unique,” the athlete told ARMENPRESS.

Nazaryan will have his first performance at the Paralympics on March 14 in the 1km skiing event.

The PyeongChang Winter Paralympic Games will be held until March 18.

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
