HRANT DINK IS A NATIONAL HERO, RAFAEL HAMBARTSUMIAN DECLARES

YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 1, NOYAN TAPAN. Hrant Dink is a national hero, as in
the past 15 years the diplomacy and propaganda of Armenian state did
not do so much for recognition of the Armenian Genocide, spreading the
Armenian cause at the world level, as Dink. Rafael Hambartsumian,
Chairman of Azgayin Miabanutyan Ukht (Union of National Unity)
organization, expressed such opinion at the January 31 press
conference. In his words, H.Dink’s murder is also a genocide.

Taking as a basis information that appeared in Turkish press,
R.Hambartsumian said that H.Dink’s murder was committed at the state
level. As he affirmed, RA government should undertake steps for
gaining additional diplomatic victories over Turkey.

Touching upon the fact of murders of Armenians in Moscow,
R.Hambartsumian said that 146 Armenians were killed there last
year. In his words, RA authorities are responsible that Armenians
"being hungry leave the country."

“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
