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 destroy this race.Let us say that it is again 1915; there is world in the world. Destroy Armenia. See if you can do it. Send them from their homes  into the desert.Let them have neither bread nor water. Burn their houses and their churches. See if they will not leave again. See if thei will not laugh again. See if you can stop them from mocking he big ideas of the world.

You sons of bitches. Go ahead, try to destroy them. For, when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a new Armenia. 

William Saroyan "The Armenian and the Armenian"
