YEREVAN, AUGUST 4, ARMENPRESS. There are no Armenians among the victims of the landslide in Georgia according to the latest information, the Armenian foreign ministry spokesperson Ani Badalyan told ARMENPRESS.

“There are no citizens of the Republic of Armenia in the list of victims officially published by the Georgian authorities as of this moment,” Badalian said.

At least six people died in Georgia in a landslide at the Shovi resort in the Racha area on August 3, RFE/RL’s Georgian Service reported citing the Georgian Internal Affairs Ministry. 140 people have been rescued so far, with 35 people still missing.

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
