Mikael Minasyan writes: “Ten years ago today, the April war began, the last victory of the Republic of Armenia on the battlefield. The last successful consolidation of victory on the diplomatic front.
In 2016, an attempt was made to impose a scenario on Armenia, which was rejected first by the efforts of the Armenian army and then by the work of the state.
Armenia won outside the borders, but started to lose inside the country due to the spread of the aggressive “nemesis”, “handover the land to the land” thesis and defeatist propaganda.
But that is another story.
The April War was the last victory that had heroes who had names, whose heroism had a place, a published number and a valor of valor.
This was the last time when everyone and everything were in their place: the Diaspora and its structures, the state and its institutions, decision-makers and allies.
Kudos to the heroes who knew what they were fighting and dying for.”
