YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 20, ARMENPRESS. The Federation of Armenian Organizations in the Netherlands (FAON), the Dutch Armenian Committee for Justice and Democracy will hold demonstration in Hague on February 27 for the memory of victims of pogroms of Armenians in Sumgait, Ganja and Baku, the FAON told Armenpress.

The demonstration will start from the Peace Palace to the embassy of Azerbaijan.

The event aims at remembering the victims of the pogroms of Armenians in Sumgait, Ganja and Baku in 1988 and 1990, as well as to protest against the continuing aggression of Azerbaijan against the Republic Artsakh and Armenia.

On the same day the FAON delegation will send a letter to the Dutch foreign minister, as well as the Parliament on issues relating to the status of Artsakh.

“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
