MEETING VENUE IS SARDARAPAT MEMORIAL
Support A1+!The Centre for the Popular Movement is going to celebrate May 28.
90 years ago these days Armenians were fighting a heroic battle against foreign invaders in Sardarapat, Bash-Aparan and Gharakilisa. The imperative of avoiding a final annihilation united the whole nation. Due to their unyielding determination Armenians won the battles. The victories contributed to the materialization of the first Republic of Armenia.
Today, on the eve of the celebration of this great holiday, each of us is filled with contradictious feelings. One the one hand, you are eager to honour the memory of the heroes and celebrate their glorious victory. On the other, your rights and fundamental freedoms are breached by your brutal compatriots. Today’s heroes are jailed for nothing.
And you celebrate a holiday in a country where political persecutions and violations continue every day. Until our heroes are imprisoned we shall demonstrate firm determination and will-power turning holidays and commemorations into a struggle day as we did on April 24 and May 9.
We shall attend the memorial complex of the Sardarapat battle at 1.00 May 28 /the oval square at the entrance/. Later in the day we shall hold a public merry-making at Liberty Square,” runs the statement of the Centre.
