"Reconstruction works continue at Amaras Monastery complex in Artsakh," Deputy Chairman of the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) Armen Ashotyan wrote on Facebook, adding the initiative is supported by Luys Foundation and the continuous support of former President Serzh Sargsyan.

"This is Amaras – the ancient Armenian spiritual and education center standing alone in the face of the enemy forces. This the place, where Mesrop Mashtots established the first Armenian school. The old mulberry tress at the monastery yard know more about the history of our people than thousands of our compatriots. Visit Artsakh!" Ashotyan wrote, sharing photos from the scene.

“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
