    YEREVAN. - The Day of the First Republic which is annually celebrated
    on May 28 is very important for modern Armenia, Turkish studies
    expert, senior researcher of the Armenian National Academy of Sciences
    Institute of Oriental Studies Vahram Ter-Matevosyan told Armenian
    News-NEWS.am.

    According to him, despite the relatively modest success, from a strict
    military point of view, during the May battles of 1918 the spirit of
    unity of the Armenian people was strengthened.

    `For many nations of the world statehood is just a dream, but we have
    it. For the first time in many centuries, after being under the
    oppression of various invaders, Armenia gained independence: the
    Armenian Nation established its Republic. It was then that the
    cohesion of the Armenians allowed stopping the advance of the Turks,
    to achieve their goals,' the expert mentioned.

    According to Vahram Ter-Matevosyan, the Day of the First Republic must
    be celebrated in a more solemn way.

    To note, on May 28 the Day of the First Republic is celebrated in
    Armenia. On May 28, 1918, a republic was established in Armenia.
