Vazgen Sargsyan was a real military leader, an intellectual and a true
Armenian by calling, says his friend, Murad Kirakosyan, remembering
the great commander, politician and writer.
As a companion-in-arms, he described Sargsyan as an intellectual
who replaced his pen with a weapon during the Nagorno-Karabakh
liberation war.
"The Sparapet [the Armenian for commander; the word is commonly used to
refer to Sargsyan] had a unique talent for consolidating people, and
he did so to head to the battlefield. It is not my desire to glorify
Vazgen because he doesn't need that. It's not for a journalistic
activity to describe Vazgen as a person. Vazgen was the kind of man
who, sitting in front of a video camera, would say just the same things
as he would when speaking at a cafe or elsewhere," Kirakosyan said,
speaking to Tert.am.
Today marks Sargsyan's birth anniversary. The former commander and
minister of defense would celebrate his 54th birthday if alive. A
commander of the volunteer battalion Yerkrapah (Defender of Land) and
a co-chair of the Union alliance, Sargsyan was honored as National
Hero of Armenia and Hero of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh). He was also
a knight of the Golden Eagle medal. Sargsyan was killed during the
October 27, 1999 terror act in Armenia's National Assembly.
Kirakosyan further spoke of the hero's political path. "He did not
commit a political error. In the period he was engaged in politics,
Vazgen managed to realize just 10 percent of his plans and dreams,
which was foreseeable. Just think of what he could have done but for
October 27," he said.
Asked whether he thinks the October 27 plot will be ever resolved,
Kirakosyan said, "I think the same way as you do. It will certainly be
resolved," said he, adding that he is not sure about such a possibility
as long as the incumbent authorities are in power.
