    Yerevan (Yerkir) - Organized by the ARF Supreme Body of Armenia,
    an event dedicated to the 90th anniversary of renowned political and
    military figure of the first Armenian republic Aram Manukian's death
    was held on January 28.

    Many ARF members joined with Prime Minister Tigran Sargsian, National
    Assembly deputy speaker Hrayr Karapetian and a group of MPs and
    ministers paid a visit to Manukian's grave. The prime minister and
    the deputy parliament speaker delivered speeches followed by Artashes
    Shahbazian.

    "Aram Manukian was an ARF member but also a national and state
    figure. He was one of the founders of the first republic. Under the
    ARF party flag, he was acting in the name of national interest and
    ideas and for the Armenian nation," Shahbazian said.

    The prime minister said that anyone should be proud of Aram
    Manukian. "We often lack figures like him, with firm will and
    organizational talents," Sargsyan said.
