YEREVAN, MARCH 1, ARMENPRESS. The Parliament of Armenia honored the memory of the victims of 2008 March 1 events with a moment of silence at the beginning of today’s session.

“Today is March 1, and on these days 14 years ago 10 citizens of Armenia – 8 civilians and 2 police officers, were killed as a result of the events that took place in Yerevan”, Acting Speaker of Parliament Hakob Arshakyan said, proposing the lawmakers to honor the memory of the victims with a moment of silence.

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
