We are celebrating the 27th anniversary of independence in an extreme situation. The revolution that took place in May, the ongoing processes, and the ongoing events are new experiences for our state. The values for which people went out on the streets are now being attacked.
What is taking place under the title of ‘love and solidarity’ is turning into hatred, revenge, and lawlessness by its leaders.
With the irony of fate, today we have to save the ideas of the revolution from the very people who started it.
Therefore, I am convinced that our country will get through these difficulties with dignity, and as a result, we will no longer idolize people in Armenia, but instead we will have a real democracy, and not a society that is divided into black and white, but a united nation. There will be no emotional announcements, but instead there will be a guarantee of a secure and wonderful life in Armenia and Artsakh.
My dear countrymen,
I once again congratulate you, and wish all of you happiness and peace.
Robert Kocharyan
2nd President of Armenia
