Dear compatriots,
I cordially congratulate you on the occasion of Army Day.
For our country and people, the army is more than just a public body.
Literally every day and every night the Armenian army protects our
lives, very often becoming engaged with bandits who seek to encroach
upon our motherland. Today, they are trying to impose on us a new type
of war, because they have lost all the previous types, including the
so called "war of diversions." Its absurdity is already obvious even
to those who call us "enemy."
In the 100th year of the Armenian Genocide, some people have decided
to frighten us, Armenians, with homicide - Armenocide. Let us confess
that what was implemented 100 years ago was centrally-planned and
administrated genocide. We also fully understand that such a plan
could have been fulfilled only in the absence of the Armenian
statehood.
Today is a red-letter day, and I would like to reiterate once again
for those who do not understand well: the Armenian people have
returned to life, have returned to the international family of peoples
through its statehood and army. They have returned from Hell. The
attempts to terrorize the ones who have gone through hell are not
serious. Such attempts are delayed by at least 100 years.
A question arises: what is the connection between the events that
happened 100 years ago and today's army. Is there a plan in someone's
sick brain to destroy Armenia? The answer is that those plans live not
only in some peoples' brains, but also are heard from the lips of the
neighboring country's officials. They can be heard through all
possible loudspeakers. According to them, not only Artsakh, but also
the entire territory of Armenia made part of the historical lands of
"Azerbaijan," and those lands are subject to so called "liberation."
We perfectly understand the targets of such "pre-planned" rhetoric.
What do we say? We say that Artsakh's right to live in freedom is out
of discussion. That is all.
Dear compatriots,
Since the day of its formation, when it even lacked an official name,
our army has become tempered in war fires. It was born out of our
people's will to live and be liberated and as a guarantor of their
hopes, desires and immortality.
We have not had such a powerful army for a long time. I congratulate
all of us on this great holiday. I wish safe service to our servicemen
and peace to all of us.
