Minor quake strikes near Zovuni village
 
On May 5, at 07:13 a.m. local time, the Seismic Protection Survey Seismological Network of Armenia’s Ministry of Emergency Situations (MES) registered a 2-magnitude earthquake at northern latitude 40.240° and eastern longitude 44.500° geographic coordinates – 6 km northwest from Armenia’s capital Yerevan– at the depth of 10 km.
 
As the press service at the ministry of emergence situations reported, the tremor measured magnitude 2-3 points at the epicenter. The quake was felt in Zovuni village of Kotayk province.
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
