Dividing own people dangerous than a bullet shot by enemy: Serzh Sargsyan congratulates compatriots on 28th anniversary of Armenia’s independence
Armenia’s third president Serzh Sargsyan addressed a congratulatory message on the occasion of 28th anniversary of Armenia’s independence.
The president reminded the words of Armenian military, political, state figure Garegin Nzhdeh who said that the Independence, is responsibility before the independent homeland and the people avoiding this responsibility lose the moral right of their existence.
“Independence is not relative, but subjective and tangible, it is our language, the guarantee of our existence and identity, our belief, traditional family, culture, the piece of land in the borders of our state socked with the blood and sweat of our freedom-seeking brothers and sisters,” Sargsyan said in the statement.
The third president stressed that today, during this confused period, the responsibility of all is to saintly preserve the mentioned values from different encroachments, be sober when the propagators of false values and traditions knock our doors, develop and enrich our national values and transfer them to future generations.
“We have to clearly look in the eyes of reality, differentiate between the disruptive false from truth, understand that putting under doubt the victory in the defense war and praising the bravery of our sons and evaluating them at their best and conducting discussions with doubtful purposes and breaking the spirit of triumphant soldier and considering the achievements of 30-year-old independent state as failures and drawing lines between the own people is more dangerous than the bullet shot by the enemy,” Sargsyan said in the statement.
The ex-president also expressed his optimism and belief that people will stand above the all kinds of valueless, transitional interests and will be united and sober to realize the external dangers threatening the Homeland.
