ARMENIAN PRESIDENT ADDRESSES NATION ON REPUBLIC DAY
Public Television of Armenia, Yerevan
28 May 07
The 28 May is one of the most glorious pages of our history, being
the basis for present-day Armenia, President [Robert] Kocharyan’s
congratulatory address says.
The Republic of Armenia originated as a result of the battles our
people fought and the victories they won in May 1918. After a break of
centuries the Armenian independent statehood was recovered. Despite
its short history, it placed firm bases for a legal, economic,
scientific and cultural development of our new statehood.
The president congratulated everyone on the Republic Day and wished
that our people continued the road founded on 28 May, as it symbolizes
the eternal values of national independence and freedom.
