KOCHARIAN CONGRATULATED ARMENIAN NATION ON FIRST REPUBLIC DAY

PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian President Robert Kocharian today congratulated the Armenian people on the First Republic Day. The message specifically says, «The birth of the Republic of Armenia was the embodiment of the struggle of our people for many centuries, that were realized at the expense of many sacrifices and first of all due to the May victories in 1918. The restoration of the Armenian statehood played not so much historical, but a turning psychological role. The liberty, raise of the national self-consciousness, the forming of state structures were those guiding lines that prepared and to a certain degree predetermined the political prospect of our country. May 28 is a holiday of renaissance and eternity of the Armenian people that was on the verge of annihilation.»
