"Armenians of Javakhk live in an atmosphere of fear," President of the
Javakhk Patriotic Union, MP Shirak Torosyan told a press conference
today. In his opinion, our compatriots had never been subjected to such
nationalistic persecutions in this Armenian-populated region. The MP
said also that those nationalistic and political issues have further
depended because of hard socio-economic conditions.

"We do not hold the socio-economic issues as priority. Today we
prioritize the national-political issues. Javakhk faces a very serious
national political problem today, and the aggravating socio-economic
situation contributes to the deepening of the above-mentioned problem."

“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
