" I should like to see any
power in the world destroy this race, this small
tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have been
fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled,
whose literature is unread, music is unheard and
prayers are no longer answered. Go ahead, destroy
Armenia. See if you can do it. Send them into the
desert without bread and water. Burn their homes
and churches. Then see if they will not laugh,
sing and pray again. For when any two of them
meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not
create a New
Armenia." |
