The path to independence was hard and the price paid, extremely
high: thousands of Armenian heroes fell for the liberation of
Nagorno-Karabakh and Armenia's sovereignty. So reads a congratulatory
message by the opposition Heritage Party on the occasion of the
Republic of Armenia's 20th anniversary.
"The Third Republic that fought its independence on the eve of the
21st century received a rich economic, scientific, educational and
cultural heritage from the First and Second republics. During the
past 20 years [it] was expected to become the symbol and the crown
of the Armenian statehoods [that] ever existed during centuries. But
unfortunately that was not the case: the newly independent Armenia
still suffers from injustice, illegalities and lack of freedom.
"Now we hope that after the irrational, sometimes even narrow-minded
policies adopted by all the previous governments, we would finally have
policies that are based on national interests, effective governance
and right strategies that would bring a secure and prosperous future
to all social groups, all citizens who founded the Republic, and that
no Armenian would ever again feel as if he was an alien in his own
homeland and leave it for good.
"We will get to this goal by uniting our capacities, by suggesting a
new political alternative and with the commitment to create a state
that has been the dream of the Armenians who founded the Republic,"
reads the message, in part.
