PanARMENIAN.Net - President of Nagorno Karabakh Republic (Artsakh)
Bako Sahakyan delivered a speech at the parade of NKR Armed Forces
dedicated to the Victory Day, 20th anniversary of NKR Defense Army
and Liberation of Shushi on May 9.
"I cordially congratulate you on the Victory Day, 20th anniversary
of NKR Defense Army and Liberation of Shushi, a day that has been
sanctified by blood of our sisters and brothers thus becoming one of
the most cherished holidays nationwide," the President said.
"On this solemn day, I first of all bow my head to the bright memory
of our brave sons perished for the motherland's liberation. Eternal
honor and glory to our martyrs!
May 9 is a holiday of victory, the victory of nationwide unity and
consolidation; it is the victory of our fathers and grandfathers in
the Great Patriotic war, when best sons of the Armenian people hand
in hand with other nations fought against violence and evil, setting
an example of selfless heroism and courage for future generations,"
he said.
"May 9 is the victory day of all Armenians in the national liberation
struggle, when all parts of the Armenian nation became a single whole
uniting around the exalted idea of defending Artsakh. Everything was
being done for the sake of our sacred mission, for the realization
of our centuries-long aspirations, for the bright future of the
Armenian nation.
With this sense we liberated Shushi, our ancient fortress, a cultural
and spiritual center that had been in captivity for years and which
is reviving and getting a new breath of life today.
With this sense the defense army, the most important guarantor of
our nation's freedom and security, its pride and one of the greatest
achievements, was formed. The army was born in the crucible of the
war; it accomplished and nowadays continues with credit its sacred
mission of the motherland's defender.
It is also due to the Armenian army that peace and stability in the
whole region are secured. This undeniable reality cannot be ignored.
We will continue to keep the army strong and victorious, with a high
level of fighting capacity and strong spirit, ready to realize any
task assigned.
Free, independent and developing Artsakh is a great and exclusive value
for all Armenians. Due to the support of Mother Armenia, our sisters
and brothers from the Diaspora, Artsakh managed to recover from the
wounds of the war and embarked on the path of stable development. We
will spare no efforts to achieve this goal. Today our sons born in the
liberated homeland who keep its boundaries secure are proudly standing
in the parade. They continue the mission of their hero fathers with
dignity, thus preserving the memory of all our martyrs," President
Sahakyan said
Together with those who gained our cherished victory, today's
servicemen of Artsakh army defend security of their native land and
peaceful life of their own people. This has been so for 20 years,
so will it be forever," he concluded.
