On May 2 NKR President Bako Sahakyan and the leadership of eth
republic met with participants of the Etchmiadzin-Shoushi pan-Armenian
pilgrimage.
Addressing the participants, NKR President Bako Sahakyan said:
"Dear friends, Dear compatriots,
I'm glad to welcome you on the Artsakhi land. Theparticipates of the
pilgrimage were blessed at the pan-Armenian religious centre of the
Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin, and continuing their rally, reached
the St. Ghazanchetsots Church of Shoushi. This includes a deep meaning
and determines the path of our future victories.
It's pleasant to note that most of the pilgrims are Armenian young
people from different sites of the world. It is the best proof of
the fact that unity is one of the main features characteristic of
our nation.
Over the whole course of its history the Armenian nation has managed
to overcome any difficulty with honor if it has been united. This
unprecedented initiative involves the most essential components of
this unity. It symbolizes the state-society-church link.
Appreciable is the fact that the soldiers of the liberation war
and the Ministry of Defense are actively participating in this
pan-Armenian event.
I attach a huge importance to the participation of different
generations and representatives of social groups in such national
undertakings. Public and political figures and intellectuals,
soldiers of the liberation war in Artsakh, mothers of the killed
heroes, as well as representatives of the younger generation are
here today. Participants of the pilgrimage represent different parts
of the Armenian nation, once again underscoring the role of the
Armenia-Artsakh-Diaspora unity in our life.
I welcome the fact representatives of different nationalities, who
are citizens of Armenia, participate in the pilgrimage.
More than ever, today our people need to unite, be united and live in
concord. The numerous challenges and issues that face our two Armenian
republics can be solved only this way. The history of out nation has
proved on many occasions that we have no other way out. It is the
imperative of the time and the main guarantee of our victories. We
should continue along this path, build our Motherland and welfare
future of our generations.
On behalf of the people and authorities of the Nagorno Karabakh
Republic, I once again welcome all the participants and organizers
of the pan-Armenian pilgrimage, all those who initiated and realized
this important mission. I wish you success and all the best.
I'm sure that this exceptional pan-Armenian event will have its
important role in consolidating the united will and spirit of
our people for the benefit of the Republic of Armenia, the Nagorno
Karabakh Republic and the strengthening and prosperity of world-spread
Armenians.
