    Armenian victories celebrated in Sardarapat

    26.05.2005 17:51

    YEREVAN (YERKIR) - An event, organized by the Armenian Revolutionary
    Federation (ARF) Supreme Body of Armenia, to mark the May victories
    was held at the Sardarapat Museum and Memorial.

    In his opening remarks, Supreme Body representative Armen Rustamian
    said that the ARF is marking the victories this nation has won in the
    battles of Avarair, Sardarapat and Shushi, as well as the victory in
    the Great Patriotic War in a unique way -- in open-air
    celebrations. "May is our symbol of unity. Another such unity will
    take place on May 28 around Mount Aragats," Rustamian said.

    Armavir governor Albert Heroyan, in turn, said, "About 3,500 Armenians
    have shed their blood at this place to create an independent Armenia."

    "Sardarapat is an unforgettable page of our history, and every
    Armenian feels stronger and shrilled here," Lavrenti Barseghian,
    director of the Genocide and Sardarapat museums said addressing those
    gathered.
