    Address of Artsakh Republic President Bako Sahakyan during the solemn
    ceremony of lighting the torch of the 5th Pan-Armenian games

    Respected attendees, Dear athletes,

    I am glad to welcome all of you in the ancient Artsakh soil.

    Today we are partaking in a very important and symbolic event. In a
    few minutes at the Gandzasar's Cathedral of St John the Baptist the
    torch of the 5th Pan-Armenian games will be lit. It is not casual.

    During the last 20 years Artsakh has become the symbol of consolidation
    of the world-spread Armenians.

    Such events also depict the Armenia-Artsakh-Diaspora solid and
    inflexible trinity. We highlight the role of the Pan-Armenian games
    from the very viewpoint of continuous strengthening of this trinity.

    These games are not only a pure sense competitions, but also another
    expression of our national solidarity and unity. The victorious
    spirit must always be strong in every Armenian and accompany us on
    our unbroken way.

    Together with teams from different cities of the world about 100
    athletes from Artsakh will partake in these games. They worked hard
    and are ready to participate worthily and struggle for the prize
    places. In Artsakh we will follow with great attention the course of
    the games and the participation of our athletes.

    I wish success and all the best to all the participants of the 5th
    Pan-Armenian games. Let these games give new strength and vigor to
    you and become the beginning of greater victories.

    Gandzasar, August 2, 2011.
