YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 20, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. The delegation
headed by the Armenian President Robert Kocharian on September 20
visited Erablur and laid a wreath at Monument to Unknown Soldier,
paying a tribute of respect to the Armenians who laid down their
lives for Armenia’s independence.
"If we don’t want a war, we should be prepared for it," the NKR
President Arkady Ghukasian said during a briefing with reporters.
"The bravest die in war, and this was not an exception 15 years ago.
We must create a state worthy of their dreams. We won the war,
but it is still continuing in the political and economic field,"
the NKR President added.
During a talk with reporters, the Defence Minister Serge Sargsian in
his turn pointed out: "We should always be prepared for any turn of
events, because the problem is directly related to our security and
our future, that is, this is the most important problem for us. I am
convinced that the appropriate bodies are ready for this process."
Serge Sargsian considered the 15-year path of Armenia as natural,
because while proceeding along this path, our country has had
achievements and successes along with its problems and difficulties.
"The past 15 years were full of the delight of success, and certainly
the bitterness of mistakes," the minister said. In his words,
"the years of independence, which were full of numerous successes
and mistakes, have taught us to discuss them with a large number of
participants when taking a decision."
