party leader

YEREVAN.- Independence Day belongs to everyone, but first and foremost
to a citizen of Armenia who has taken responsibility for it, said
leader of Heritage Party Raffi Hovannisian.
According to him, the greatest achievement of independent Armenia is
that `we have gained the right to be responsible for our destiny.' It
is the second time the Armenian nation retains this right and the
third opportunity will never be given, Hovannisian told journalists on
Friday.
As regards the losses, he mentioned two tragic events - 2009
parliament shooting and March 1 events.
Armenia declared independence back in August 1990 becoming the first
on-Baltic republic to secede from the Soviet Union.
