PRESIDENT BUSH STATED THE “INDOMITABLE WILL OF ARMENIAN PEOPLE”

YEREVAN, April 25. /Mediamax/. “While we mourn the tragedy that scarred the history of the Armenian people, let us also celebrate their indomitable will which has allowed Armenian culture, religion, and identity to flourish through the ages.” This was said in Bush’s speech addressed to American Armenians, spread Tuesday.
As Mediamax was informed by the press-service of White House, Bush said in his speech that Armenia marked this year the 1700th anniversary of the establishment of Christianity in Armenia. “Let us celebrate the spirit that illuminated the pages of history in 451 when the Armenians refused to bow to Persian demands that they renounce their faith.” –0–
