/PanARMENIAN.Net/ For each of us, Independence Day is a good occasion
for contemplating the history of our statehood, its achievements
and challenges. Such retrospective look is an opportunity to think
about future tasks and outline future programs, RA Prime Minister
Tigran Sargsyan says in his congratulatory address devoted to the
18th anniversary of Armenia’s independence.

"Today is also a day of pride for each of us. Gaining independence is
not enough; it is necessary to maintain and strengthen it every day
and do all our best to make the century-old dream come true. We all
must be proud that Armenia, our homeland, is becoming strengthened
thanks to our people’s permanent efforts. This period is really of
historic importance. Present-day world brings us face to face with
new challenges. And I am sure we’ll be able to overcome them thanks
to unity and devotion. Dear Compatriots, brothers and sisters, 18th
anniversary is considered to be the threshold of full age. And the
independent Armenian statehood is today crossing that threshold. I
address my special greetings to our children, the "generation of
independence" which was lucky enough to be born in free and independent
Republic of Armenia," RA Premier stressed.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
