ARMENIAN LEADERSHIP VISITS YERABLUR
11:43 28/01/2013
Today since very morning the path leading to military pantheon Yerablur
is crowded. On occasion of anniversary of formation of Armed forces
the people hurry to pay tribute to memory of people who gave their
lives for defending our country and had a great contribution in
formation of the Army.
Some minutes ago the Armenian leadership was in Yerablur headed by RA
President Serzh Sargsyan, NA speaker Hovik Abrahamyan, Prime Minister
Tigran Sargsyan, Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan. The people still
come to pantheon.
The events dedicated on 21st anniversary of the Army have kicked off
since January 25. High ranking intellectuals from Diaspora are in
Armenia to attend the festive events.

S.Sargsyan: Armenian Armed Forces are argument for peace preservation
Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan sent today a congratulatory message
on the occasion of Army Day.
According to the presidential press service, the message reads:
"No nation probably suffered serious and tragic consequences of the
absence of their armed forces as much as we did. Perhaps this is the
reason why our army has felt special treatment of our people since
the moment of its formation. It has been a people's army since the
day of its formation.
We did not intend to form and maintain such an army as we have today.
We had to organize our forces so as to organize our defense in the war
forced upon us. We had to become organized so as to prevent massacres
and ethnic cleansing committed methodically before our eyes and the
eyes of the whole world. Moreover, there were public and official
threats to commit new massacres and new ethnic cleansing against us.
These threats were more than real. Some of them were carried out at
that time, some - later.
It was at that crucial moment that the Armenian people formed their
army from scratch. Under conditions of the war, blockade and hunger,
the Armenian people formed their army so as to say the following words:
"That's enough!" A language of threats must not be used when speaking
to an Armenian and someone else in the world. The Armenian army rose
in the way that the enemy did not and could not expect. Our heroes
fell - they returned our right to life and dignity at the expense
of their lives. We bow our heads before the memory of those, thanks
to whose courage we call our army today a victorious army - a force
that compelled the enemy to accept a ceasefire and relative peace,
a force that maintains peace and stability in our region and that
has been and will be a reliable rear of Artsakh.
I am convinced that the war against Armenia and Artsakh was unleashed
and occasionally broke out mostly for one reason: our strength and
potential were underestimated. This had a severe impact on everybody
and tragic consequences for the peoples of Armenia, Artsakh,
and Azerbaijan. Today the Armed Forces of Armenia can hardly be
underestimated. This is a serious argument for peace preservation. No
one believes anymore in fairy tales about fast and easy wars.
We have never begun and will not begin a war. This is obvious. Even at
the moments when we definitely had an advantage on the battlefield, we
kept saying the Artsakh problem had no military solution. We wish you
to show your professional and high moral qualities only during military
exercises. I wish you not to use your abilities on the battlefield".
