YEREVAN (YERKIR) – Armenian Relief Society (ARS) held an event
on Tuesday to honor those who gave their lives for the liberation
of Artsakh.

National Assembly member and the ARS chairwoman Alvard Petrossian
opened the event titled “Humble Heroes,” attended by the Artsakh war
participants and their families.

“If we have no homeland, everything else makes no sense, and your
sons, who have died in the war, are the best example of patriotism,”
Petrossian said addressing mothers and wives of the killed soldiers.

ARF Bureu representative Hrant Margarian, speaking of the political
aspect of the Artsakh war, said: “We cannot accept that some
politicians speak of our achievements fearfully and raise the idea
of concessions. Concessions can be made but they should not be at
the expense of the liberated territories. We have only one issue in
our homeland: to live fairly.”

A clip on the liberation of Shushi from the documentary “Humble Heroes”
was screened. The event was sponsored by the ARF Nikkol Aghbalian
Student Union, ARF Youth Organization and the Scout Movement of
Armenia.
