Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has signed a petition, asking President Armen Sarkissian to honor a group of participants of the recent clashes along the Armenian-Azerbaijani borer with orders and titles.

Sixteen servicemen, who actively participated in the military actions incited by Azerbaijan will be awarded the first-class Order of the Combat Cross, 55 others will be honored with the  second-class Order of the Combat Cross.

Captain Ruben Sanamyan will be honored with the title of the National Hero and will receive an Order of Motherland.

“This is a really worthy tribute to all the participants of the victorious battles of Tavush, all the soldiers, officers and generals of the Armenian Army, to all our heroes of old and new times, to all our martyrs, who by their example inspired our modern-day heroes, who we have the honor to live side-by-side with today,” the Prime Minister said.


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
