President Sargsyan Congratulates on Victories in Great Patriotic War and Liberation of Shushi

President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan delivered a congratulatory address on the occasion of the Holiday of Victory and Peace.

“The triumphant ending of the Great Patriotic War was a historical event for our people and for our country which became a new start, a powerful impetus to raising our economy and culture at a new level through our peaceful and creative work. Our people did its best for that victory. We had scores of victims who will be remembered also by our sons. We had heroes and military leaders whose heroic deeds, as an example of patriotism and military art will inspire the present and future offsprings,” the address reads in part.
Further the President mentions that on the same day in 1992 the Armenians had a chance to celebrate another triumphant occasion – the liberation of Shushi.

“It was our answer to those who unleashed a war, perpetrated ethnic cleansings and massacres,” reads the statement, adding that the Armenian nation is resolute not to tolerate any more attempts aimed at violating its right to live a free life.
