"Armenia" opposition bloc issued a statement on the 30th anniversary of the formation of the Armenian Armed Forces. "The Armenian Army marks the 30th anniversary of its formation. Its formation was the call of the times: the Army was formed and matured to defend the newly gained independence and statehood, ensuring its security and recording victories," the message said.
According to it, over the past 3 years the Army has enjoyed the love and respect of all Armenians, strengthening our collective spirit through decency and pride.
"Being the inseparable part of our independent statehood, the Armenian Army is going through many trials, face severe challenges. It is impossible to straighten the hurt back of our state without organised and combat ready army. We believe we are capable to revive the spirit and combat readiness of the army, bring decent peace to our homeland, keep our border indestructible. We are indebted to our heroic soldiers who fell on this land, Armenian mothers and accountable to future generations. We should join national efforts of empowering the Armenian statehood with will and decisiveness," the message said.
