Editorial   

06 MARCH 2020 

On March 2, 1992, Armenia became a member-state of the United Nations, and the Republic's first minister of foreign affairs (and later ACNIS founder) Raffi K. Hovannisian raised the nation's tricolor standard in front of UN headquarters and delivered its first official address to the General Assembly.

This week, to mark that historic day, in lieu of editorial we provide a link to Public Television's interview with Hovannisian on March 2, 2020.

“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
