YEREVAN, MAY 30, ARMENPRESS. Azerbaijani authorities have destroyed a World War II memorial in Berdzor, Speaker of Parliament of Armenia Alen Simonyan tweeted and posted images.

“I wonder whether there’ll be a reaction to the destruction of the memorial dedicated to the victims of the Great Patriotic War, whether there’ll be coverage or talk shows where patriots will tear up for desecrating our great victory. Or perhaps, as usual, there will simply be a call to maintain restraint? Double standards, stupidity and greed, and then a surprised look on the face asking what and when has gone wrong,” Simonyan tweeted.

“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
