YEREVAN, AUGUST 3, ARMENPRESS. Governor of Tavush Hayk Chobanyan has visited the villages in his province which suffered the most during the recent Azerbaijani cross-border bombardments, where around 100 damaged buildings are being re-built.

“Yesterday I visited the towns of Aygepar and Nerkin Karmiraghbyur, who suffered the most from the bombardment. We are going to complete the reconstruction as soon as possible, and our residents will have better homes than they had before the shelling,” the Governor said in a statement.

Governor Chobanyan praised the villagers for their resilience, noting that they are standing taller than ever on their land. 

The villages in Armenia’s Tavush province came under Azerbaijani cross-border artillery strikes in mid-July.

“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
