YEREVAN, MAY 20, NOYAN TAPAN. The launching of the "1918 Heroic
Battle of Gharakilisa" book took place in the National Assembly of the
Republic of Armenia on May 20. The authors of the book are candidates
of historical sciences, independent MP of the National Assembly Viktor
Dallakian and senior lecturer Armen Marukian. The book is a collection
of documents and materials. The printing of the book has been sponsored
by Karen Karapetian, the Head of the Republican Party of Armenia
faction of the National Assembly. As Viktor Dallakian mentioned,
the co-authors found it expedient to organize the launching of the
book on the eve of the 90th anniversary of the May heroic battles:
Sardarapat, Bash – Aparan, Gharakilisa.
"I am sure that will become a good tradition, irrespective of the
fact that we had MPs before, who published books, we organized no
such events, we should have started some day," Tigran Torosian, the
Speaker of the National Assembly, said. He also expressed an opinion,
according to which such facts speak about the great potential of
the parliament and are among the important and honourable sides of
the parliament. The NA Speaker expressed hope that like at present,
in future as well the parliament will have saved means "for printing
such good works with the assistance of the parliament."
