EVALUATING MAY HEROIC BATTLES

Today an event has been held in YSU Faculty of History
devoted to the heroic battles of Sardarapat,
Gharakilisa, Bash Aparan and Shushi. The event was
organized by the students’ scientific union of the
faculty and YSU culture center.

The dean of the faculty Hayk Martirosyan mentioned
that May Battles have their unique ideology, as only
by those battles Armenian State system and
independence have been established and protected. The
students of the faculty made speeches devoted to the
item.

Gevorg Melkonyan, YSU History Faculty student made a
speech about Gharakilisa battle. He mentioned that
though the tree-day long battle finished by the
retreat of Armenian army, the victories in Sardarapat
and Bash Aparan would not take place.

`Hence, May battles of 1918 did not only found
Armenian State and forced Turkish to recognize Armenia
as an independent state but they have become
ideologies for further victories which our soldiers
have proved in 1992 by liberating Shushi and Lachin,’
he said.
