YEREVAN, APRIL 21, ARMENPRESS. The Arabic translation of the poetry collection by Edward Militonyan, the President of the Union of Writers of Armenia, was published in Damascus, Syria.

Translated by Dikran Kapoyan (pictured above), the book was published by the Dar Al-Hilal Publishing House.

The publication is sponsored by the Armenian Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sport, the Armenian Literature Abroad Foundation and under the patronage of the Armenian Diocese of Damascus of the Armenian Apostolic Church and Primate of the Dioscese, Archbishop Armash Nalbandian.

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
