to 20th anniversary of Armenia's independence. The festive Republic
Square gathered huge masses, exultantly greeting marching soldiers

SU-25 jet aircrafts, leaving coloured streaks in the sky as they
flew by, as well as Mi-24, Mi-2 helicopter gunships were welcomed
with special enthusiasm. Those gathered were impressed by defence

Pechora, K11 Krug and Osa surface-to-air missile systems, GAZ-2975
Tigr high-mobility military vehicles, T-72 tanks, heavy artillery,
self-propelled howitzers, anti-tank missiles; Krunk Armenian-made
international standard missile drones were demonstrated.
The parade was led by the chief of the General Staff of the Armed

Forces Serzh Sargsyan, Nagorno Karabakh Republic President Bako
Sahakyan, Catholicos of All Armenians Karekin II, Catholicos of the
Great House of Cilicia Aram I, high-ranking politicians and foreign

The parade couldn't but rise the upsurge of pride and patriotism with
many, even most sceptical viewers, who were given a chance to become
witness to the might of the Armenian army.
