"Let’s welcome Armenia’s first President Levon Ter-Petrosyan!" the
announcer was heard to say during today’s official ceremony dedicated
to the Musaler (Musa Dagh) battle. Levon Ter-Petrosyan was welcomed
with warm applauses and shouts, "Levon, President!"
The first Armenian President tasted Armenian traditional harisa and
visited the museum of Musaler Heros. Meanwhile the announcer, the
chairman of "Musaler" Patriotic Union, called on the presentees to
welcome the first president once more. The officials of Armavir marz
didn’t like the announcer’s words. The latter tried to correct his
mistake by saying, "Let’s farewell Levon Ter-Petrosyan." This time
he simply omitted the word "president."
The ceremony was attended by Armenian politicians among them Ararat
Zurabyan, Aram Sargsyan, Smbat Ayvazyan, Nikol Pashinyan and others.
