Syria, Syrian Armenians

The delegation of Armenian lawmakers will meet with Syrian President
Bashar Al-Assad today, MP Samvel Farmanyan said in Facebook post.

“We are already in Damascus. Soon we’ll meet with President Bashar
Al-Assad to discuss the issues of Syrian Armenians and the future of
Kessab,” he wrote.

“We are grateful to the friendly Syrian people for supporting out
brothers and sisters, who consider Syria their Motherland, at most
difficult periods in history. We are hopeful that through political
dialogue it will be possible to reach peace and return to normal life,”
Farmanyan said.

Yesterday the Armenian lawmakers met with Kessab Armenians, who have
found refuge in an Armenian Church in Latakia.

“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
