“Glory to the veterans who died, who survived. We remember the participants of the Great Patriotic War, we honor their memory. Today we want our veterans to live longer so that they can tell the true story. We will do our best to pass on the memory of the war from generation to generation so that it is not forgotten. This is our history that we must respect,” Karapetyan said.

According to the director general of the Moscow House Cultural and Business Center, since the first days of the Patriotic War, the heroes have written with their blood, “We will die, but we will not surrender.”

“How can we forget those words? That is why today is a glorious day, Victory Day. The Victory was shaped by the peoples of all the countries of the Soviet Union. The Armenian people, of course, played a significant role in this victory. We can say with pride that the role of the Armenian people in the victory in the Patriotic War is great, because more than 600 thousand Armenians took part in that war, of which 300 thousand died, more than 100 Armenians were awarded the title of Hero of the USSR. It is a great achievement for the Armenian people. We are proud of our heroes, we respect their memory,” Karapetyan concluded.

“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
