September 7 (today) is celebrated in Armenia as Engineering Troops
Day, Calend.ru says.

The first engineering unit was formed in the Armenian army on
September 7, 1992. Engineering Troops Day has been celebrated in
Armenia since 2000. Armenian engineering troops celebrated their 20th
anniversary in 2012.

Engineering troops include engineer-sapper, engineer-road, pontoon and
other sub-units. One of the primary tasks of engineering troops is
mine clearing in the Karabakh conflict zone.

Armenian engineering troops have gained unique work experience
including combat experience, humanitarian mine clearing experience and
international experience. They worked in mountains, plains, forests
and moorland.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
