On the third day of his working visit to the Nagorno-Karabakh
Republic, the RA President and the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the
RA Armed Forces, Serzh Sargsyan, in company of NKR President Bako
Sahakyan, observed the RA and NKR armed forces' "Unity-2014" joint
operative-tactical military exercises at the Tigranakert Military
Training Center. A tank biathlon competition was demonstrated during
which the best participant in shooting and other categories were
determined. The Presidents of the two Armenian republics observed the
live-fire firing phase from the observation-tower of the same military
training center followed by an award giving ceremony dedicated to the
servicemen actively involved in the military exercise and military
service. Serzh Sargsyan congratulated the participants of the military
exercise on demonstrating courage and high fighting abilities in the
imitated battle and the successful implementation of these large-scale
military exercises.
"Honorable generals and officers,
Dear soldiers,
The biggest, the most large-scale and useful military exercises that
have been ever conducted with the cooperation of the NKR Defense Army
and the RA Armed Forces are coming to their end, and despite the
deplorable occurrence, I think that the military exercises have
succeeded. Of course, corresponding experts and executives are yet to
sum up, analyze and draw conclusions about them but we are happy for
what we saw in the imitated battle. You demonstrated high fighting
abilities, will and devotion to the Motherland. Well done, thank you.
Throughout these days, not only your proud parents, but also the
entire population of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic and the Republic of
Armenia have focused their attention on you, because your are our hope
and belief, our sword and shield, and as you know, the shield is
stronger and the sword is sharper when they are used for just
purposes. You serve the ends of justice
Thank you.
Of course, you have been followed by foreigners and, first of all, the
ones who consider us their enemies, who use indiscriminate methods and
are able to chop a sleeper, who are able to destroy a non-dangerous
helicopter that has got into a difficult situation. It is their
business. You do your work well. We all remember everything, and the
day of retribution will come. Your task is very clear: continue in the
same spirit. I have said numerous times and I am reiterating that the
war instigated by the Republic of Azerbaijan at the beginning of the
90s was also the result of underestimation, and if, God forbid, they
instigate war once again, we too will be guilty of giving them the
chance to underestimate us.
Respectable officers,
Dear soldiers,
Your behavior demonstrated in the imitated battle and the contact
line, as well as your fighting trim deserves not underestimation, but
appreciation. Your mastery already makes very many Azeri simpletons
change their opinion about war. They thought that fighting against
Nagorno-Karabakh and Armenia was a short and pleasant hobby, something
like a flash mob - to assemble, perform an act, be photographed and
disperse. No, there will be no flash mob and pleasant walk. I am
confident that war will not occur either, because you are strong and
are standing here.
Dear soldiers,
Remember, there has been written a lot on papers, including rights of
humans and nations, but those rights need to be protected, and you are
the guarantors of those rights. A lot of peoples of the world truly
take pride in their armies, but you are responsible for our life and
the security of our people. We believe in you and resting on that
belief, we will do everything to reach a fair solution to the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and ensure Armenia's and Artsakh's security.
We are grateful to you. You are our sons, we secure your rear and you
are our defenders. Remember it. I wish all of you success. Military
exercises are not the end, but the beginning of your fighting trim,
diligence, sufferings, because both war and military exercises are
emergency situations. And an emergency situation requires emergency
actions that are full of difficulties and sufferings. But remember:
there is not holier thing than serving the Motherland's security. You
do it very well.
I would like to thank you on behalf of our people.
I wish you good service," said the RA President and the Supreme
Commander-in-Chief of the RA Armed Forces, Serzh Sargsyan, in his
speech to the participants of the military exercise.
Later on, a military parade took place at the Tigranakert Military
Training Center.
Presidents Serzh Sargsyan and Bako Sahakyan today also attended the
opening of a newly-built military hospital in Martakert town.
