"Soviet Armenia has been the golden century of Armenia"
Soviet orders were established in Armenia on November 29, 1920.
Today, the Armenian Communist Party convened its 38th session, which started with the anthem of Soviet Armenia.
"Soviet Armenia has been and remains the golden century of Armenian history," First Secretary of Armenia's Communist Party Ruben Tovmasyan said in his opening remarks.
"The Armenian people have not forgotten those brilliant years. They are eager to see communists back to power. They want communists to put an end to their inhuman and cruel sufferings which have turned them into slaves," he said.
Further, Tovmasyan recalled the Armenia of the 20th century.
"Due to hysteric governance of Dashnaks, the country was buried in darkness. Ignorance, famine, poverty, epidemics and migration were felt at every step. People dug animal nets to find something to eat. Then, execution of prominent communists started."
During his tenure of office, Armenia's former President Robert Kocharyan amassed a fortune. Today he seeks to return to power without thinking about the destructive consequences of his return. Due to our illiterate authorities, the working class lives in terrible conditions today. Corruption and bribery have become deeply rooted in Armenia. The deadly events of March 1, 2008, are a manifestation of authorities' brutal actions, which left 10 people killed, and many imprisoned. The Communist Party was the first to condemn the authorities' cruel steps and to call for the release of arrestees."
Before the congress, the communists laid a wreath at the Statue of Miasnikyan.
