Without respect for the families of heroes, the state has no future

Yesterday’s incident between Arpine Soghoyan, the sister of military doctor Hrant Papikyan, who went missing in the 44-day war, and Pashinyan also became an occasion to talk about Hrant Papikyan and his path.


During the 44-day war, Hrant Papikyan repeatedly went to hot spots on the front to evacuate a large number of wounded.


For the last time, before leaving to perform a task, assessing the degree of entrenchment of the enemy in the given area and the extreme danger of the situation, he prevented his subordinate staff from going there and left personally, after which the communication with him was interrupted.


The state and society that do not show proper respect and attitude towards the devotees of the motherland, their mission and families, simply have no future.


Patience and strong will to the families of missing servicemen, eternal glory to all our compatriots who dedicated their life and service for the defense of the motherland.


Tigran Abrahamyan, secretary of “I have an honor” faction

“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
