Today marks the 90th anniversary of the first Armenian Republic. As a result of glorious heroically fought battles of Sardarapat, Bash-Aparan and Gharaqilisa after six hundred year recess the free Armenian statehood was restored.
“We shall never forget May victories which were achieved due to national unity, exceptional unanimity and will, which later served as a base for freedom-loving spirit of the nation and for new heroic battles during the liberation of Artsakh.
While strengthening the belief in our power, the victories accomplished at the battle-fields, give us will and determination to keep and to reinforce what was achieved through the joint struggle of the generations, to empower our free statehood in order to face with dignity today’s challenges for creating a prosperous tomorrow for our people,” stated the RA prime-minister Tigran Sargsyan in his congratulatory address.
“Although the first Armenian Republic lasted three years it filled our people with that great spiritual feeling, which at the end of 20th century accounted not only for restoration of our statehood but also for liberation of Artsakh,” the President of the National Assembly Tigran Torosyan mentioned in his speech.
On the occasion of the anniversary of the Republic the Catholicos of all Armenians Garegin B. gave a blessing in Holy See St. Echmiadzin. “The restoration of the Armenian statehood in the days of the heroic battles of 1918 was crucial to our people: the Fatherland was saved, the Fatherland to which my nation devoted all of its strength in times of crises, putting a start to a nation-state. The successes and the memories of those days inspire and encourage us to stay devoted to our country, to be church-loving, to serve with the same son-like devotion to our Fatherland for a bright future of our people,” he stated.
