Ani Mshetsyan. On the 18th anniversary of the terrorist attack in the
Armenian Parliament on October 27, 1999, Armenian officials,
servicemen, and members of the Artsakh war visited the Yerablur
pantheon to pay homage to the memory of Sparapet Vazgen Sargsyan.
Among the officials who visited the pantheon were Armenian Deputy
Defense Ministers Artak Zakaryan and Artak Davtyan, Armenian Defense
Minister Vigen Sargsyan, General Manvel Grigoryan, representatives of
the Yerkrapah Volunteer Union, Vazgen Sargsyan's brother Armen
Sargsyan, former Syunik Governor Surik Khachatryan, as well as
representatives of the Ministry of Emergency Situations and etc.

In an interview with journalists, Manvel Grigoryan noted that new
Vazgen Sargsyan and Karen Demirchyan are still to be born in Armenia.

On October 27, the deputies of the National Assembly of Armenia paid a
minute of silence to the memory of the victims of the terrorist act
and laid flowers in the yard of the Parliament to the monument of
eternity. At the meeting with journalists, Babloyan noted that he does
not connect the events that took place on October 27 with the impulses
coming from outside and with politics. In particular, he said: "Of
course, many people try to find political implication in the terrorist
act, but I am convinced that it is not there." What happened is the
tragedy of all of us. Today is a day of remembrance that should always
remind us of what is necessary be tolerant and respect all that we
have created over the centuries, and today we have created a state
that we can build correctly. "

According to Ara Babloyan, it is natural that in such situations,
society always believes that reality will never be revealed. "The
people who committed this were exposed," the speaker said.

As for what would happen in the country, if the tragedy occurred on
October 27, the speaker said: "The government can only develop to the
degree that people trust it, and in this regard, I do not think there
is a huge difference. there is a slow but very clear progress, and
this is connected with various factors, and I still do not think that
in this case we would have a qualitatively different Armenia, "
Babloyan said.
