AGHABEKYAN WILL SUPPORT SERGE SARGSYAN

Politics

“Independence is our victory which was won not by an Armenian soldier but by an ordinary peasant, worker, engineer, teacher dressed in military uniforms,” said ARF Dashnaktsutyun member Arthur Aghabekyan, the Chairman of the NA Standing Committee on National Security and Interior Affairs.

According to him, the Karabakh movement resulted in the USSR collapse and independence of republics. He emphasized Vazgen Sargsyan’s role in the RA army establishment. Thanks to Vazgen Sargsyan our detachments were united under one commandment.

Those days we were alone. We were able to win due to our collective integrity,” Aghabekyan noted.

There is one feature characteristic of all nations. No soldier is remembered after wars, only colonels and commanders are glorified.

This is our drawback, we vociferate about their positive deeds rather than heroism. It is our fault as since the victory of 1994 we have been unable to “educate” our commanders in a decent, modest way, he said.

Aghabekyan dwelt on the forthcoming elections as well. According to him, only an ARF Dashnaktsutyun president is capable of confronting today’s challenges. “I say it for sure,” he said.

In case Serge Sargsyan and Levon ter-Petrosyan appear at the second round, the ARF Dashnaktsutyun member will support Serge Sargsyan.
