Since the implementation of the state of emergency in Armenia in March due to COVID-19, the Armenian Red Cross Society (ARCS) has helped more than 8,700 vulnerable people throughout Armenia. In their Stepanavan Branch located in the Lori region, 22 volunteers are busy packing and distributing food and hygiene products to remote villages.

CivilNet’s crew spent a day with the volunteers in Stepanavan.

“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
