Armenia Yerevan Mission Alumni
On June 24, 1991, Elder Oaks and Elder Russell M. Nelson, also of the Council of the Twelve, and Elder Hans B. Ringger of the Seventy and president of the Europe Area, gathered with others in a brief ceremony to dedicate the Republic of Armenia. From the site of the dedication overlooking the republic's capital city of Yerevan, Mt. Ararat can be seen in the distance. There, according to Gen. 8:4, Noah's Ark came to rest. The mount is just over the border in what is now Turkey.
Elder Oaks, in offering the dedicatory prayer, acknowledged Armenia as a "land sanctified by the worship of thy Son for centuries, indeed from the earliest recorded history of the Christian era ... . It is a land where thy sons and daughters have felt hostility and where blood has stained the boundaries between this Christian nation and its neighbors for millennia."
Elder Oaks petitioned that the land's inhabitants, as they try to overcome the difficulties of the past and go forward, might realize "the benefit of their righteous labors" and feel the "cool breeze of freedom" and have showered on them the blessings of prosperity, and "hear the song of liberty, the song of freedom."
