Due to the brilliant actions of the command staff and the unity of the Armenian people, we were given the victory of Sardarapat heroic battle, Edik Minasyan, Dean of YSU Faculty of History told reporters today.

“It was thanks to the struggle that free independent Armenia was created. It was short, though, thanks to the first Republic, that Armenia became the member of the Transcaucasian federation and later member of the USSR. It enabled us to preserve and continue the independence of Armenia. ”

According to the historian, the first Republic of Armenia was a democratic republic. It carried out very important tasks in strengthening the statehood of Armenia.


Emil Lazarian: “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
