    PanARMENIAN.Net - On August 2, President of the Artsakh Republic Bako
    Sahakyan partook in the solemn ceremony of lighting the torch of the
    5th Pan-Armenian games at the Gandzasar's Cathedral of St John the
    Baptist and delivered a welcoming address.

    "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 competition, 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," Sahakyan said.

    Head of the Artsakh Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church Archbishop
    Pargev Martirosyan, Speaker of the National Assembly Ashot Ghulyan,
    Chairman of the Pan-Armenian Games' international committee Ishkhan
    Zakharyan, numerous guests from Armenia and Diaspora were present at
    the ceremony.

    The 5th Pan-Armenian games are due on August 13-21. The applications
    are still being accepted and the final number of participants will
    be announced the day before the games. About 100 Artsakh sportsmen
    are expected to partake in the games.
