I can’t state the whole volume of devastations yet, but some buildings have collapsed in certain communities, especially old buildings. This is what Governor of Gegharkunik Province of Armenia Gnel Sanosyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

“There are a few records of collapse of old barns. There are some damages. Currently, there is a problem with restoration of power, but it was solved minutes ago. There was no power for about an hour-and-a-half,” the regional governor said.

Today Armenia recorded an earthquake with the epicenter in Gegharkunik Province (with a 6-7-point magnitude).

“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
