WAR IS A GENERAL PROBLEM AND HISTORY IS DICTATED BY GOVERNMENT

Statements are made as the presidential election is drawing nearer on
the military actions in 1992-1993, hailing one activist for success
and accusing another for failure. On December 18 the leader of the
National Democratic Union Vazgen Manukyan hosted at the Hayeli press
club was asked this question, who used to be minister of defense of
Armenia in those years.

"I know that war is not a guerilla band. War is the country, if all
the government structures were not involved in war, it would not be
possible to win the war. Without tens of thousands of volunteers
going to army, it would be impossible to win the war. Therefore,
it is wrong to ascribe all the victories to one person or another.

Because it is collegial work," Vazgen Manukyan says.

According to him, the entire country participated in war, with
factories, scientists, heroes, organizers. "Everyone was important.

Therefore, I do not want to recall the years of war all the time.

Unfortunately, I have read nothing objective about the movement and
the war, because it turns out that the one who is government tries
to dictate history," Vazgen Manukyan says.
