YEREVAN, May 8. /ARKA/. In a statement issued on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriotic War and Shushi Liberation Day, Armenian President Armen Sarkissian said victory is timeless and never wears out.
'On this day in 1992, the Armenian people through the joint efforts liberated Shushi. Seventy-five years ago on this day, all nations of the Soviet Union together achieved victory in the Great Patriotic War,' his statement says.
'We paid an enormous price for the victory in the Great Patriotic War. The nation, which during the Genocide lost 1,5 million people, during the WWII lost another 300,000 Armenian lives; 300,000 out of 600,000 who fought at the battlefields. Our participation in the fight against fascism rightfully places us in the frontlines of the victorious nations.
Over one hundred sons of the Armenian nation received the Hero of the USSR distinction; many received high ranks of generals and marshals, and we will be eternally proud of them. We are also proud of our compatriots in Diaspora who supported the Soviet Army through their donations. They too, joined the fight against fascism through the Liberation movement in France, in Europe, in other countries.'
'Dear Compatriots, Seventy-five years ago, Armik Aramian from Artsakh was among those who entered Berlin as a victor. He immortalized his name on the wall of the Reichstag in the inscription “Stepanakert-Berlin-Armik Aramian”. Nearly 50 years later, victory was celebrated in his and our Fatherland, in Artsakh, in Shushi. The road leading to victory in Shushi was coming not only from Stepanakert but also from Armenia and Spyurk.
Our chronicle was enriched by the modern history of our freedom and the names of the heroes who created it. It is no accident that the Shushi Liberation Day – May 9 was proclaimed the day of creation of Artsakh’s Defense Army. Today that Army, along with the entire Armenian Armed Forces, is a powerful and combat ready force.
I bow to the memory of the heroes who during WWII died for the freedom of the Soviet Union and Europe, to the memory of the courageous sons of our Fatherland who created victory in the Artsakh Liberation War.
My salutations and deep respect to our veterans who are living textbooks of patriotism for our generations.
Dear Compatriots, seventy-five years have passed since the victory in the Great Patriotic War, 28 years have passed since the liberation of Shushi. Behind these numbers there are countries, peoples, and human destiny. But victories live on…They live on when they are solidified by the Fatherland’s empowerment and growth. They live on if we remain vigilant and combat ready.'-0-
