    1918 marked a breakthrough in the Armenian history. People, who had
    survived genocide, found strength in themselves to restore the
    statehood lost five centuries ago.

    Recalling some episodes of the heroic battles of Sardarapat,
    Bash-Aparan and Gharakilisa, Doctor of History, Professor Babken
    Harutyunyan said that the May victories were celebrated thanks to a
    small group of Armenian regular forces and volunteers. `We defeated
    the Turks due to our unity,' he told reporters today.

    Dean of the History Faculty of the Yerevan State University Edik
    Minasyan also emphasized the importance of unity in the May victories.
    However, the first republic existed for just 2.5 years. Which are the
    lessons that must be drawn from the loss of the first republic? First
    of all it was the lack of regular army, a shortcoming that has been
    corrected today, Minasyan said.

    Historian Babken Harutyunyan, in turn, emphasized the importance of
    pursuing a correct economic policy and having a strong army.
