The Nig Aparan Compatriotic Union will organize a series of festive
events on May 28 in Aparan on the occasion of the anniversary of
Armenia's victory in Bash-Aparan battle. Union Vice-Chairman Tigran
Petrosiants reported at the May 26 press conference. On that day the
Union will free of charge move to Aparan everybody who will wish. Busts
of Sedrak Jalalian and Drastamat Kanayan will be placed there and a
"traditional Armenian entertainment" will take place in the evening.
T. Petrosiants said that in general May is a month of victories for the
Armenian people: he reminded the success in 1918 in Sardarapat and in
Bash-Aparan, as well as Shoushi liberation in 1991. According to him,
if suddenly a danger of war emerges today, the Armenians irrespective
of their party belonging will join those defending the homeland.
T. Petrosiants confirmed that Nig Aparan supports the Republican Party
of Armenia in Yerevan Council of Elders elections. "From the moment
of establishment our Union has been standing not near the authorities
but near the statehood, under Levon Ter-Petrosian, Robert Kocharian,
and Serzh Sargsyan," he said. According to T. Petrosiants, for each
country the best achievement is existence of a democratic system of
values, but no democracy can be built unless the people is ready for
it. "We are still at an unfinished war, we still need a strong hand,
a strong person," he said.
