“We have started another year in the clutches of the world pandemic. Coronavirus continues to control life, plans and hopes. Uncertainty has increased even more. Meanwhile, inequality and inflation are growing. We face fierce political conflicts. The level of distrust between the superpowers has reached a peak,” Guterres said.

“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
