GYUMRI. – Armenian Minister of Agriculture Sergo Karapetyan made a
working visit to Armenian Shirak region. The delegation headed by the
minister got acquainted with the works of the crop of wheat, then the
selection station of Gyumri. The index of the crop is high, compared
to last year.

The minister stated that there will be no compensation for people who
suffered hail and famine, as the Armenian government has no money.

The journalists also asked about the results of minister’s decision on
including the Christian priest into the works of agriculture ministry.

`I do not understand. Are you Christians at all or you are Muslims?’
replied the minister annoyed.

“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
