[07:01 pm] 26 January, 2007

January 28 is the 15th anniversary of the Armenian army. In this
connection a number of events have been organized. RA NA Speaker
Tigran Torosyan has already sent a congratulating message.

`Fifteen years ago it would seem incredible that in such a short spell
the groups protecting Artsakh would turn into the strongest army in
the region. Today it is a fact which became reality thanks to the
effort of thousands of Armenians’, he said.

`The presence of the army tempered in war and peace is a reason for
being proud. I congratulate the Armenian nation and its soldiers on
the 15th anniversary of the army, and I pay my tribute of gratitude to
the memory of all those Armenians who gave their life for the
realization of this dream’, Tigran Torosyan said.
