The beach volleyball team of Armenia has taken part in the Continental Cup in London, a qualifying tournament for the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020.

The Armenian team included in group B spent two games losing to the teams of England (0-2) and Switzerland (0-2).

The Armenian volleyball players ended up third in the group with a total of 48 points, the Armenian National Olympic Committee reports.

The Bulgarian team included in the same group missed the tournament.

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
