Most Families In Gyumri Shacks Live Without Men (Video)

MOST FAMILIES IN GYUMRI SHACKS LIVE WITHOUT MEN (VIDEO)

03.10.12

Most of the residents of the temporary shacks in Armenia’s second
largest city of Gyumri are said to have no males in their families
at all.

According to the local NGO Shirak Center, individual construction
activities in one of the city’s districts leave the temporary shelters
under a layer of dust.

“We can note, without hesitation, that the families without men
outnumber the full-member families living in shacks,” the NGO says
in a press release.

The organization’s representatives visited recently one of the shelters
in the district, where a family of four – a woman with three daughters
– lives in inconsolable conditions. Below is the video featuring the
family’s plight.

“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
