    HERITAGE'S REPUBLIC DAY STATEMENT

    On this glorious 90th anniversary of the founding of the Republic
    of Armenia, the Heritage Party extends its sincere congratulations
    to the citizens of the Republic and to the Armenians of Artsakh,
    Javakhk, and the Diaspora.

    In the millennia-old history of the Armenian nation, May 28, 1918
    stands as a beam of light which has come to balm the enormous pain
    of 1915 caused by the Great Crime and its resulting dispossession
    of most of the Armenian homeland. Despite its short lifespan, the
    First Republic succeeded in succoring the Armenian people with the
    strength to reestablish a statehood long lost. And thanks to the
    just quest for Artsakh and its ultimate liberation decades later,
    this process found its contemporary continuation.

    Today the Armenian nation and the Heritage Party, which is unwavering
    in its service, affirm yet again their commitment to the values of
    liberty, sovereignty, and the rule of law, the substantive absence of
    which could diminish the concept of Fatherland so earnestly cherished
    by successive generations.

    The recent turmoil in Armenia dealt a heavy blow to our country, its
    regional endurance, and its international standing. It is our deep
    conviction that the only way out of the current crisis is through the
    consolidation of the precepts of democracy and the full reinstatement
    of freedom and justice across the Republic.

    Pursuant to the letter and spirit of this Republic Day, the Heritage
    Party underscores its long-standing call for the immediate release
    of all political prisoners, the complete and credible investigation
    of this year's tragic events, the rendering to account of those
    responsible and, in keeping with the ancient wisdom and true ethical
    mores of the Armenian nation, realization of the high imperative to
    anchor political and civil liberties in every dimension of society.

    We hold in our hands the spirit, the lesson, and the legacy of May
    28. In our deeds and by our union, let us be worthy of them.
