We’re stranded in Larnaca, and nobody knows when the plane from Armenia will arrive so that we can return. This is what Kristine Mnatsakanyan, one of the citizens of Armenia stranded in Larnaca, told Armenian News-NEWS.am. Mnatsakanyan said she and her family had gone to Cyprus for a vacation and were supposed to return to Armenia today.

“The flight was supposed to be at 16:30 Cyprus time, meaning we were supposed to be in Armenia now, but the plane didn’t arrive. All the passengers are waiting at the airport. A while ago, the consulate responded and asked what it could to do help, but the problem is that the plane from Armenia hasn’t arrived. Armenia’s Sputnik Travel isn’t answering our phone calls. It hasn’t even responded to our posts on the airline company’s social media website,” Kristine Mnatsakanyan said.

According to her, after they sounded the alarm, they were given food coupons at the airport, but they don’t know how they’re going to spend the night.

“There are a lot of children here. I myself have two children. We don’t know what’s going to happen,” Kristine said.

“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
