    Twenty long years separate us from 1988. The year, which has become
    turning for armenian people.
    In 1988 our power and voice were octadrupled. A number of our relatives
    was octadrupled. Eight times eight thousand demonstrators gathered in
    the square of Stepanakert and resounded the word of their heart so,
    that it became the trouble of all the humanity.
    Twenty years later, on February 20th 2008, Veratsnund square of
    Stepanakert was again filled. Free and Independent Artsakh celebrates
    two tenth anniversaries of national-liberating movement.
    National holiday began in Stepanakert from early morning: a number of
    cultural arrangements took place in Veratsnund square, where then a
    mass meeting took place. The participants with slogans of 1988,
    demonstration tapestries, with proud and triumph from Hakhtanak square
    marched here, where 20 years ago a historical great event took place.

    meeting.
    The writer, publicist Zory Balaian didn't forget to mention, that the
    most terrible enemy was a split, which there wasn't fortunately in
    Karabakh and called to be always indivisible.
    Numerous infants participated also in the meeting of 1988. They are
    today of the same age and more. One of them was a journalist Tsovinar
    Barkhudarian, whose speech was warmly listened by the participants of
    the meeting.
