YEREVAN. – Greatest accomplishments of 20 years of Armenia’s independence are its recognition as a subject of international law, its victory at the Karabakh war, and the Armenian army, stated Sardarapat Movement’s member Alek Yenigomshyan during a press conference held today. But he considered it sad that the value of the victory in the Artsakh war is belittled over the course of these years.“We have lost the significance of all mentioned achievements.

Armenia’s being a subject of international law has given up many things from its significance, the [Artsakh] victory is belittled at least because Armenia’ three successive authorities have constantly expressed readiness to surrender the liberated territories. And eventually, that readiness has lessened the Armenian person’s inspiration which had endowed him with the liberation of lands. We have left the liberated lands abandoned, instead of using and turning them into an indivisible part of our motherland,” Yenigomshyan noted. He also informed that several foundations of the Sardarapat Movement are carrying out efforts toward the resettlement of liberated territories.
