President Serzh Sargsyan issued a message to the participants of the
second pan-Armenian educational forum. The message states:

`I sincerely greet the participants and guests of the second
pan-Armenian educational forum.

I’m glad that the forum has gathered the devotees of Armenian education
and upbringing abroad, the Diaspora teachers.

Today I want to address words of gratitude to each of you. You carry
out the high mission of maintaining the Armenian national identity,
educating and bringing up the Armenians growing up in foreign countries
in Armenian language and spirit, upbringing a patriotic generation. The
Republic of Armenia also has a serious work to do here.

I’m confident that due to frequent visits to Motherland, such forums
and discussions you will acquire new knowledge and spirit and will pass
it to your students, who are destined to continue the eternal path of
the Armenian people.

I wish fruitful activity to the forum and new personal and professional
successes to its participants.’

“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
