Catholicos of All Armenians Karekin II in Moscow called for unity on the anniversary of the April war.


The message specifically states:


“Today we commemorate the Armenians who became heroes in the war unleashed against the world of our homeland, Artsakh, three years ago. We celebrate the patriotism and exploits of our brave warriors. Their selfless act will be a source of inspiration for generations.

Artsakh is our citadel, the impregnability of which will determine our future and good life. It is our patriarchal message that our people both in the Motherland and in the Diaspora communities should be united and united against the challenges of the modern world.

We raise our prayer to God so that wars throughout the world cease to be a way to settle problems between nations and states. 

Our people expect the international community to respect the just rights of our children of Artsakh and for Artsakh to live a free and independent, safe and progressive life.

Incense and blessing to the immortal memory of our heroic children.

YEREVAN, APRIL 2, ARMENPRESS. Armenian President Armen Sarkissian, currently on a working visit to Artsakh, visited the village of Talish in the country’s Martakert region together with Artsakh’s President Bako Sahakyan.

In the village, the presidents laid flowers and paid tribute to the servicemen who were killed during the 2016 April War, when Azerbaijan unleashed a major attack on the country’s borders.

Then, Sarkissian and Sahakyan met with soldiers who participated in the war, Sarkissian’s Office said.

“I have come here to bow before you and say I am proud of you, I am proud that soldiers of the victorious Armenian army are standing in front of me,” Sarkissian said, thanking the men for their service.

“I have come to see, feel and listen to you. For me it is very important to listen what the soldier, the officer who were at the frontline have to say”.

Sarkissian was proud to note that he can feel the pan-Armenian presence in Talish. “There are many buildings here built by donations from the AGBU, the Hayastan All Armenian Fund and many individual philanthropists,” he said.

“Wars are won not only with weapons but with spirit. If this spirit is strong, no one can do anything against it”.
