A country that lost 1.5 million people had the strength to declare
Armenia's first independence, Professor of History Babken Harutyunyan
told journalists on Monday.
That was a momentous event, he said.
Edik Minasyan, Dean of the Department of History, Yerevan State
University, said that `the first independence was the birth of heroic
battles of May.'
`The Third Republic is successor of the First Republic,' Minasyan said.
According to him, the First Republic existed for only two years and a
half, but it had a large number of achievements.
`We had a regular army and realized its importance for state
consolidation. That was the basis for our victory in the Artsakh war,'
Simonyan said.
