"It is a great achievement to have 15 years’ independence for the
last 600 years. And if we have many problems today, we should blame
not the independence, but ourselves", said, Kiro Manoyan, Executive
of the ARF Dashnaktsutiun Bureau Hay Dat and Political Office.

Mr. Manoyan is convinced that the nation can develop only if there
is a state. Referring to our path for the last 15 years, he said,
"We not only managed to be independent for 15 years, but we also
liberated Karabakh and created the strongest army of the region.

All this was achieved thanks to our unity".

Mr. Manoyan found it noteworthy that if we have obligatory military
service, we must create an army which will contribute to the
development of the soldiers.

He said that the shortcomings can be overcome only in case there
are not hidden. "Armenia is the homeland of not those who live in
it but all the Armenians in the world. If we do not accept this,
we will continue to suffer losses. We cannot combat corruption,
emigration continues, and there is no justice in the country. All
this jeopardizes the security of the country."

"I’m convinced that people emigrate as they have no other choice. The
majority has nothing, and the minority has everything at the expense
of the majority. People cannot stand injustice. Nothing will change
in the country if we fail to realize that we are the owners of the
country and everything depends on us", Kiro Manoyan said.
