RA President Robert Kocharyan issued a congratulating message on the
occasion of the Victory and Peace Day. The message says:
"Dear compatriots,
I warmly congratulate you on the Day of Victory and Peace.
Many Armenians made their contribution to the victory in the Great
Patriotic War. The end of World War II and establishment of peace
were of fatal significance for Armenia, creating broader opportunities
for the prosperity and multifaceted development of our country.
The Victory Day attained a new meaning on May 9, 1992 with the
liberation of Shoushi. This double holiday symbolizes the resoluteness
and will of our people to defend its dignity, security and the right
for free development.
We know the price of victories and piece. We also see the fruits
of these.
That is why we are committed to the peaceful resolution of the
Karabakh issue.
It should be anchored on the irreversible reality of existence of
the Nagorno Karabakh Republic.
I congratulate you on this great May Day and the 15th anniversary
of Shoushi liberation. I wish peace to all of us, which will provide
the opportunity to launch greater state-building activity and to be
worthy of our historic victories.
