In his congratulatory address to the Armenian people, National Assembly
Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan particularly notes, "The Armenians managed
to build a statehood in hard times, after the collapse of two big
empires. Having led an unequal battle for their independence, they
did manage to declare the First Republic. And today, 91 years later,
we can build our sovereign state and achieve fair solution of Artsakh
issue thanks to the First Armenian Republic and the victories we held
in the battles of Sardarapat, Bash-Aparan and Gharakilisa."
