YEREVAN. – The Armenian presidential residence spends about $2,500
each month on buying brandy. At the same time, this amount is paid
from the state budget; that is, from the pockets of the citizens,
Zhoghovurd daily reports.

“Zhoghovurd ascertained documents, according to which the presidential
[residence] acquired forty [bottles] of brandy in June; this month
the presidential [residence] purchased around 28 liters of brandy. The
presidential [residence] had bought almost as much brandy in May, too.

“It is incomprehensible as to how at least 25-30 liters of brandy is
consumed per month. Even if we consider the fact that the presidential
[residence] purchases brandy to entertain official delegations,
we can assume how these meetings end,” Zhoghovurd writes.

“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
