YEREVAN. – The most important lesson and counsel of Armenia’s heroic battles that were fought in May was that these battles were truly a war. That is, it was a struggle for yet again achieving the right to live on our land.  

Dean Edik Minasyan of the Faculty of History at Yerevan State University stated the aforesaid during a press conference on Saturday. He spoke about the abovementioned heroic battles and the historical and political significance of the First Republic of Armenia (1918-1920).  

In his words, there were no class and party affiliation issues during those battles. 

“The inspired [Armenian] people, [who had] become one fist, came out to fight against the foe because this was a critical war. Our nation proved the victory of its unity. We shall not forget that in those days they were fighting all together with arms against the Turkish foe.

And the third greatest counsel was the unity of our regular army and militia. [It was] truly a culmination point of collective forces and a triumph of unity,” Minasyan added.
