Historical stair built by Armenian architects to be renovated in Ethiopia

A historical stair in Addis Ababa, and which was built by Armenian architects, will be renovated in the capital city of Ethiopia.

The stair, which is located at the heart of Addis Ababa, was built during the reign of Emperor Menelik II, between late 19th and early 20th centuries, according to The Ethiopian Herald.

Local authorities say the restoration of this stair will be carried out carefully to preserve its originality.


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
