[13] "Armenia is dying, but she will be born again--the little blood
that is left to her is the precious blood from which will arise a heroic
posterity. A people that refuses to die will not die. After the victory
of our armies, which are fighting for justice and liberty, the Allies
will have great duties to fulfil. And the most sacred of these duties
will be to bring back to life the martyred peoples, Belgium and Serbia.
Then they will assure the security and independence of Armenia. Bending
over her they will say to her: 'Rise, sister! suffer no more. Henceforth
you are free to live according to your genius and your faith!'"
[14] Armenians have from time to time opened schools for Kurdish
children, but their efforts were not successful, mainly owing to the
unfriendly attitude of the Turkish authorities.
