Armenia
YEREVAN. - We deserve independence by proving the world and ourselves
that we have the right to live according to our values and way. We
proved that first of all through our army's victories, Armenia
President Serzh Sargsyan said in Sardarapat during his speech devoted
to the 20th anniversary of Armenia's independence.
"Our army was born and formed during the war, and became the solid
shield and unbroken stronghold of our newly formed state. The Armenian
Army got strengthened and now it is not only the defender of the
secure and creative life of the Armenians, but also the guarantee of
peace and stability in the region.
It is ready to stand any external threat against independence of
Armenia, let it be on the borders, in the land of the enemy or in
any other place.
Dear soldiers, commanders, and officers,
Civilization and human inventive mind give a wider opportunity for
work now than ever.
Unfortunately, challenges threatening peace and security of Armenian
people have become stronger and numerous. To stand them we have to look
always forward and raise the spirit and fighting ability of the army.
The soldier of our army not only defends the state in the war field
but also creates the citizen of his state. "A soldier is a real
soldier when he has thinking for the state," taught Armenian and
Artsakh national hero Monte, who preferred to be a soldier rather
than to have another title.
A soldier, who has thinking for the state, is educated and disciplined,
is the guarantee of the strong and efficient army.
We will raise the fighting efficiency of the army in accordance with
time and support of fighting equipments and arms.
However, we should first of all inspire trust for the commanders in
mothers sending their sons and soldiers to army.
"We should see the fate of the state in the palms of our mothers,"
Armenian commander Nzdeh stated. Now we should reevaluate the
aphorism for our 20-year-old independence. I believe, we will have
brave mothers to deliver brave sons and they will make even stronger
the fortifications defending Armenia.
We should estimate the fighting ability not by comparing it with other
armies of the region but with our past army through constant work.
We will strengthen wires step by step linking the army and the civil
society by making the citizen a soldier and a soldier a citizen. While
simultaneously, we will cut all the useless wires that weaken the
army by confusing the officer and the soldier in everyday social and
economic issues.
Only after strengthening our army we can be sure to stand the attack
threatening our freedom and independence of the state.
We are stronger now than ever. I say it without bias: we are ready
to win. But we want to win only through intelligence and work.
We are ready for conquers. But we want to conquer creative picks.
We will not hesitate to defend cost of blood what really belongs to
us. But we prefer grape blood and purple color of Armenian cochineal
insect [vordan karmir].
Indeed the protector of our freedom and independence is the Armenian
soldier.
However, life and security of our soldiers depends mainly on the
successful work of our diplomats," Serzh Sargsyan stated.
