The Armenia judo cadet team has taken part in the Cadet European Judo Cup held in Romania, the National Olympic Committee reported.

Susanna Stepanyan (40 kg) became a gold medalist. It was the second participation and win of the Gyumrian athlete in an international tournament.

The Armenia team had left for Romania led by head coach Hovhannes Davtyan. The tournament brought together 563 athletes from 28 countries, the source said.

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
