YEREVAN. – Ashot Navasardyan’s ideology was independence, and it is no coincidence that he became the Founding Chairman of the [now ruling] Republican Party of Armenia (RPA).

National Assembly (NA) President Galust Sahakyan told the abovementioned to reporters on Saturday.

Sahakyan, on the 65th birth anniversary of Navasardyan—and accompanied by capital city Yerevan Mayor Taron Margaryan, RPA MPs, ministers, and several other senior officials—placed flowers on his grave at the Yerablur Military Pantheon.

“His struggle was for the independence of Armenia, for the creation of the [Armenian] army. His thoughts were the Karabakh movement and its triumph,” the NA speaker said. “He maintained that Karabakh shall never be part of Azerbaijan, and this ideology of his continues until now.”

The Armenian parliament chair, the Yerevan mayor, and the other senior RPA members placed flowers also to the tombs of military commander and politician Vazgen Sargsyan and General Andranik Ozanian—a key figure of the Armenian national liberation movement aimed at the establishment of an Armenian state during World War I and the following years—, and the monument to the Armenian victims of the Karabakh War.
