Prose writer Aghasi Arshakyan does not imagine a greater happiness
for the Armenian nation than independence. "We have a powerful Army
to defend this independence, what we lack is internal independence
and morality," the writer says.

"In all times all peoples had only one desire – independence. But
independence does not come as manna from heaven, and 15 years ago we
learned how it can be achieved," writer and publisher Zori Balayan
says. In his opinion, the independence was achieved by our Army,
which was formed in the war, an Army without which the maintenance of
independence would be a sole myth. We much to do and many problems
to solve, which is hard to imagine without the Army. I congratulate
all Armenians in Motherland and Diaspora, who have jointly built
this independence."

For Perch Zeytuntsian independence is an absolute value, it is the
greatest happiness of a whole nation, the only guarantee of our future.
