ANDRANIK MARGARIAN: "ARMENIAN ARMY IS ONE OF GREATEST ACHIEVEMENTS OF
OUR INDEPENDENCE"
YEREVAN, JANUARY 29, NOYAN TAPAN. "The Armenian Army born with the
independence of Armenia is one of the greatest achievements of our
independence," is said in RA Prime Minister Andranik Margarian’s
address on the occasion of the 15th anniversary of formation of the
Armenian Army. In the Prime Minister’s words, the national army passed
a long way of formation during a short period of time and it is today
not only the hopeful guarantee of defence and security of Armenia and
Artsakh, of the independent statehood, but also has its deserving
participation in international peace-keeping processes, gathering
necessary experience to confront challenges of the modern word.
"Continuing efforts for our country’s future development, creation of
competitive economy, for strengthening the statehood, we clearly
understand that it is also one of important preconditions for army
building, reforms being implemented in the Armed Forces, improvement of
an efficient and powerful army," is mentioned in the RA Prime
Minister’s address. It is mentioned in RA National Assembly Speaker
Tigran Torosian’s congratulation message on the occasion of the 15th
anniversary of the RA National Army that it would seem unimaginable 15
years ago that the martial detachmeans defending Artsakh would increase
in the best, most efficient national army of the region during such a
short period of time. In the NA Speaker’s words, it is an indisputable
fact today which was fixed owing to our people’s heroic steadfastness,
thousand of Armenians’ devotion, entirely service to the Fatherland.
"The delight and pride of having an army overcome with honour all the
ordeals of war and peace is another occasion for paying the tribute of
our deep respect and gratitude to the memory of Armenian sons
selflessly passed the heroic way for improvement of the National Army,
the guarantee of freedom, securiy and integrity of our Fatherland, our
people’s peaceful life," is said in T.Torosian’s address.
