At the Under-16 Chess Olympiad in Turkey, Armenia’s youth team is still among the followers of the leaders.

In the first round, our team lost to Switzerland (1.5: 2.5). After this Armenian team won Kyrgyz team (3.5: 0.5) and in the third round won Denmark’s team (2.5-1.5).

Our team has 4 points and is currently sharing the 8-20th places. The table is headed by four countries – Uzbekistan, the United States, India and Belarus. They have three victories and have 6 points each.

In today’s 4th round, Armenia’s youth team will compete with Portugal, which won Azerbaijan and Israel, was defeated by the United States.

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
