MONUMENT TO THE VICTIMS OF THE OCTOBER 27 ASSASSINATION ERECTED IN THE COURT OF THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY
- Yesterday was the tenth anniversary of the October 27, 1999 assassination in the National Assembly. Yesterday in the court of the National Assembly a monument to the victims of the October 27 assassination has been erected. The author of the monument is Yervand Kochar. Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan, NA Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan, Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan, His Holiness Catholicos of All Armenians Karekin II, political figures, members of parliament, government, relatives of the victims participated in the opening ceremony, according to Armenpress agency.
"Ten years passed from the tragic events in the National Assembly. The assassination which shocked the Armenian people, took the lives of state and political figures who had great contribution to the independence, consolidation of statehood, formation of the army. Today we are commemorating them, people whose contribution is incontestable in the history of newly independent Armenia. The loss is irreparable and the pain incurable. The past years did not smooth the pain of all of us and the regret," Armenian NA speaker Hovik Abrahamyan said in his speech.
Widow of Karen Demirtchyan, Rima Demirtchyan, noted that ten years passed from the tragedy but no one forgot, nothing has been forgotten and today's ceremony witnesses it. According to her, this must have been done earlier, but "it is good that current NA and its leadership sought the erection of the monument".
"The October 27 assassination not only broke our hearts and left inerasable, incurable wound, it shattered the basis of our statehood, separated our public and till now we bear the consequences," she said, adding that many questions remained unanswered and it is wrong to leave them for next generations.
