The April events showed that the “gene of the Armenian people” is active: everyone saw how the Armenian guys can be in action and what feats they are able to make.

Candidate of the Ohanyan-Raffi-Oskanian bloc, Raffi Hovannisian, said the aforementioned at the meeting with the voters in the Armenian village of Agarak on Wednesday.

In his words, the soldiers, who defended the borders during the April events, demonstrated incredible courage. They were then joined by volunteers and they all defended the homeland together regardless of who is in power and how these people gained power.

Hovannisian also added that after the April events Armenia should learn lessons and take necessary steps for there to be no more victims in Armenian and Nagorno-Karabakh.

Referring to the ways of solving the Karabakh conflict, Hovannisian noted that the peaceful solution of the conflict is, of course, preferable, but at the same time considering the rights of the Artsakh people to self-determination. It is also necessary to recognize the independence and territorial integrity of Artsakh.

''The person who took part in the war will strive for peace. Of course, we would like a peaceful solution to the conflict. We liberated our homeland. Artsakh became a republic: it has its constitution and borders. When the independence and territorial integrity of Artsakh are recognized and when Artsakh joins Armenia, it will already be possible to hold trilateral talks between Baku, Stepanakert and Yerevan in order to decide the other questions related to refugees, demilitarization, etc.,'' Hovannisian stressed.
