ARMENIA AND THE ARMENIAN QUESTION SIMON VRATZIAN Translated from the Armenian By JAMES G. MANDALIAN $0¢ HATRENIK PUBLISHING COMPANY BOSTON 1943 No future peace can permanently be maintained unless the downfall of present day dictatorships is followed by the establishment of those factors which make peace enduring, foremost among which is the principle of the rights of national freedom and of self- determination. This is the reason why the Atlantic Charter-the official expression of our war aims-gives first place to the national questions. "They desire to see no territorial changes that do not accord with the freely expressed wishes of the peoples concerned. "They respect the right of all peoples to choose the form of government under which they will live; and they wish to see sovereign rights and self-govern- ment restored to those who have been forcibly de- prived of them." The Armenians are one of those peoples whose fatherland has been forcibly seized; consequently, they are a people who have been forcibly deprived of "sovereign rights and self-government." After the present war of liberation, together with all other countries which have been deprived of their freedom, Armenia, too, expects the restoration of her bounda- vii ries, her lost freedom and her sovereign right to take her place in the family of nations.

    INFOLETTER 2018 Dear fellow citizens, partners and friends, The eventful year 2018 draws to its end, and we are happy to share its highlights with you in the 4th Infoletter of the Embassy of Switzerland. The festive season is a good opportunity to reflect on a busy period behind us, and to look towards the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in the coming year. In 2018, we have celebrated the 30 years of presence of Switzerland in Armenia, which dates back to the devastating earthquake in Spitak in 1988. By opening a Swiss Embassy in Erevan in 2011, Switzer- land set the basis for a continuous, stable partnership with Armenia. I am proud to see, as the new Swiss Ambassador in this wonderful country rich of culture and history, that since then the relations between the two countries have been constantly growing, be it in the economic, commercial and cultural field, or in the international cooperation where Switzerland is one of the main partners of Armenia. I want to particularly thank You, dear compatriots for your important share in the successes achieved. At the very beginning of this year, the Embassy was greatly honored by the visit to Armenia of the eleven-member Swiss Parliamentary delegation, headed by the President of the National Council of Switzerland, Dominique de Buman, which lasted four days. Also Switzerland being an active member of the Francophonie, we did not miss our chance and took part in the 2018 Francophonie Summit in October, hosted by Armenia, with the participation of the President of the Swiss Confederation, H.E.
