/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenian President Robert Kocharian today congratulated
the Armenian people on the First Republic Day. The message specifically
says, «The birth of the Republic of Armenia was the embodiment of the
struggle of our people for many centuries, that were realized at the expense
of many sacrifices and first of all due to the May victories in 1918. The
restoration of the Armenian statehood played not so much historical, but a
turning psychological role. The liberty, raise of the national
self-consciousness, the forming of state structures were those guiding lines
that prepared and to a certain degree predetermined the political prospect
of our country. May 28 is a holiday of renaissance and eternity of the
Armenian people that was on the verge of annihilation.» K
