The U.S. Embassy in Armenia has lauded the “historic progress” after Armenia and Türkiye held talks in Kars on the rehabilitation of the Gyumri-Kars railway.

“Historic progress toward a peaceful and prosperous South Caucasus. Armenian and Turkish officials met today in Kars, Türkiye to establish a joint working group for rehabilitating the Kars-Gyumri Railroad. Restoring this critical link between Armenia and Türkiye is an important step in unlocking regional connectivity and solidifying regional stability. The August 8 Washington Summit hosted by President Trump set the stage for such momentous developments. U.S. Embassy Yerevan welcomes these concrete steps toward reopening economic and people-to-people links between Armenia and Türkiye after decades of closure,” the U.S. Embassy in Armenia said in a press release.

“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
