CONGRATULATORY ADDRESS BY PRESIDENT SERZH SARGSYAN ON VICTORY AND PEACE DAY
11:06 09.05.2014
Dear compatriots,
I cordially congratulate you on the occasion of Victory and Peace Day.
For the Armenian people, May 9 holds great significance because it
heralded the beginning of a new and peaceful life. During World War II,
hundreds of thousands of Armenians fought in the trenches of justice
and freedom and came out with credit.
For us, this is first of all a holiday of peace which afforded us a
historic opportunity to give the fatherland a new start in life with
our honest work.
The destiny gave us one more historic opportunity - one more May
victory. On May 9 of 1992, we were once again in the trenches of
justice and freedom fighting against national discrimination and
genocide.
With the liberation of Shushi, not only Stepanakert avoided physical
annihilation, but also Artsakh, as well as Armenia and Armenians'
future in the broad sense.
Today, we bow with gratitude to the memory of all the brave fighters
who paid for peace by their own lives.
Long live the peace - the mother of all blessings of the world!
Glory to our heroes!
