PRIME MINISTER SAYS IT IS NECESSARY TO LEARN A LESSON
Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan spoke about the necessity that the Armenian people learn a lesson from the Genocide of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire at the memorial to the victims of the Genocide on April 24. After visiting the memorial and honoring the memory of the innocent victims, the prime minister said in a briefing that the Armenian people must be prudent and understand that “its strength and unity are guarantees that the tragedy will not repeat.” “There is no Armenian family whom this tragedy did not touch. Let God give us wisdom to learn a lesson from this tragedy not to let it repeat,” said the prime minister.

Being united and having strength will not guaranty that the tragedy will not repeat. What about Armenian strength is much less than the enemy then what? Instead spending years after years searching for godfather Armenia must realize that there is no free lunch. There is no super power anymore to protect it. Armenian must wake up from long deep sleep. Fifteen years passed without being able to build any viable industry. By now, it should have had its own weapon factories. The most important step must be to provide free internet service to everybody.
