GRETA SARGSIAN CALLS ON THE EVU TO PREVENT POSSIBLE SPLIT IN ORGANIZATION
YEREVAN, December 11 (Noyan Tapan). “You all are my sons, I love you
and take pride that you exist and should exist. If there are you, this
means Armenia also exists.” These were the welcoming words to the
sixth congress of the “Erkrapah” volunteers union by Greta Sargsian,
mother of the union’s founder and former Armenian Prime Minister
Vazgen Sargsian who was assassinated during the terrorist act at the
RA National Assembly in 1999. As regards the recent talks about a
possible split in the union, Greta Sargsian stated: “I am convinced
this will not happen. This is just a desire of those who sit
“upstairs.” She reminded the congress participants about the
atmosphere of trust when the union had been founded: “The most
important thing is your spirit, without which the victory would not
have been possible. Then, during the war, the powerful of this world
respected us and did not call us aggressors. But now Armenia has lost
its face because of talentless policies of the illegitimate
authorities of the country.” She called on the union members to forgo
their personal ambitions in the name of interests of Homeland and the
people: ” On behalf of your mothers I demand and appeal: you have no
right to split this powerful organization to your enemies’
delight. Vazgen Sargsian put a lot of effort into founding the EVU and
I think there will be no split!” Greta Sargsian declared. She reminded
the volunteers about the responsibility they bear before their late
friends and called for unity in the name of solving the existing
problems such as creating an atmosphere of trust in the society, the
struggle for an independent economic development, as well as the
preservation of science and arts, both now in a sad state.
