'NONE OF THE BOYS WENT TO WAR FOR MONEY OR POSTS' - MANVEL GRIGORYAN
16:28 * 28.01.14
Chairman of the Yerkrapah union of volunteers, Republican Party of
Armenia (RPA) parliamentary group member, Lieutenant-General Manvel
Grigoryan visited the Yerablur pantheon on the occasion of the 22nd
anniversary of the Armenian Army.
"We must face difficulties. But we'll succeed. The boys that fought
in that war deserve all the best. None of them went to war for money
or posts," General Grigoryan told reporters.
Speaking of the patriotic spirit in the country and of the probability
of war, he said: "The one claiming the boys will not go to war is a
liar. He is not an Armenian."
As to freedom-fighters' social problems, Grigoryan said: "All the
problems cannot be resolved in a moment. We must be the first to
provide 18-year-old soldiers at the border with everything."
According to him, the war is not over.
"We have had this situation for 25 years. We are defending our border.
A peace treaty has not been signed. Villagers cannot cultivate lands
in the borderland. This is the Armenian people's destiny. My only wish
is that all of us come to realize that both good and bad things are
ours. We must unite to meet the challenges. When we were united we
gained victories. Our boys gained victory over the Azerbaijani army,
which was much more powerful."
