Our martyrs fell for the rise of the Republic of Armenia. RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan wrote about this.
"Dear people, dear citizens of the Republic of Armenia,
Today is the day of remembrance and homage to those who died for the sake of the motherland. It was established by the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia on the eve of our country's army holiday, and citizens have already started calling January 27 the day of the heavenly army.
There is great love in this folk formulation, in our reality there is great love for the martyrs who gave their lives for the sake of the motherland, and great responsibility. Each fallen soldier becomes a family member of each of us, and this is due to the obvious awareness that he died for us, for each of us.
It is our duty to remember those who died for the sake of the motherland and to bow before them, this is the reason why a national day of remembrance has been established. But beyond this day, our responsibility does not decrease, on the contrary, our responsibility increases so that the sacrifices of our martyrs are not in vain.
After the disasters that happened to us, every day, every God's day, the Government and the parliamentary majority have made an effort to find an answer to a very important question: and what should be done, how to make the sacrifices of our martyrs life-giving and not breaking?
A clear and unambiguous answer was given to this question. our martyrs fell for the rise of the Republic of Armenia. And, therefore, the state - the developed, strong, safe, prosperous and happy Republic of Armenia - is the most visible monument that perpetuates the memory of our martyrs in the most weighty way and lives their descendants.
And we are focused on this issue today. The perpetuation of the Republic of Armenia, the strengthening of our statehood and its institutions, making the state a working tool for the security and well-being of citizens, strengthening the independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity and inviolability of the borders of our country, the continuous development of the earthly army is what is to be done, which will enable us to look up to the sky, to our heavenly army, and receive a smile in return.
My dear brothers and sisters, you have not fallen in vain, your sacrifice has created a new consciousness, your sacrifice has opened our eyes, simplified our mind, strengthened our will to strengthen our state, to build a state-centered path that is a path of well-being, security, happiness and peace for the Republic of Armenia and its citizens.
Through tears, we smile at you and bow to your relatives. And we kneel before you.
And long live the Republic of Armenia," he wrote.
