SARDARAPAT. - Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan, accompanied by
National Assembly (NA) Speaker Samvel Nikoyan and PM Tigran Sargsyan,
visited the Sardarapat Memorial on Monday morning, and in connection
with the Republic Day.
Numerous members of Armenia's executive and legislative power are at
Sardarapat, too, Armenian News-NEWS.am reporter informs from the
location. They laid a wreath to the Memorial, and, now, the President,
NA Speaker, and the PM are visiting the festive tables, tasting the
food and drinks, and congratulating everyone on this day.
To note, Armenia celebrates Monday the Republic Day.
The Armenian regular military forces and volunteers defeated the
Turkish troops, in May 1918, and thus prevented the latter's invasion
of Armenia's capital city Yerevan.
This triumph enabled the Armenian people to restore their statehood,
which was lost centuries ago.
It was 94 years ago on this day that the Armenian National Council
declared, in Tbilisi, Armenia's independence and the creation of the
First Republic of Armenia.
The First Republic of Armenia has played an invaluable role in the
formation of the state governance bodies.
The May 28 celebrations in Armenia are traditionally held at the
Sardarapat Memorial, which eternalizes the memory of the Armenian
heroes who prevented a Turkish invasion of Armenia in 1918.
