The Republic Day military parade in Yerevan featured a cannon salute in honor of all the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for Armenia.
Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, in his speech at the parade, described it as a “report” to citizens and announced a moment of silence for the fallen heroes.
“Today’s military parade is a report to the citizens on what the Government of the Republic of Armenia has done in recent years to strengthen Armenia’s defense capability. But this report is also addressed to our martyrs, through whose sacrifice and lives the Republic of Armenia is today more of a state than ever, more independent than ever, more sovereign than ever, and more secure than ever.
Let us honor the memory of all our martyrs with a moment of silence, as well as with artillery salutes,” Pashinyan said, with cannons then firing salute charges in honor of the fallen servicemembers.
