In the Russian compound in Armenia, <donor days> have been held since  2011 and have acquired a traditional character. The current action  this year has become the fourteenth in a row. In total, over eight  years, about 4 thousand Russian soldiers took part in actions for  voluntary donated blood donation to needy sick military personnel and  local residents of Armenia. 

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
