“Dear parents, it is inexpressible hard to speak about our heroic brothers and sisters. It is even harder to speak with the parents of those who sacrificed their lives for their homeland. However, I know that our responsibility before our homeland and those who fell for it makes us look forward and overcoming our pain to put all efforts into making Armenia in general and Yerevan in particular flourish so that no one ever asks “why?”. Today, in your presence, we not only commemorate our heroes but also undertake the obligation to build the country and the city which will forever bear the names of your heroic sons.
As the Mayor of Yerevan, I am certain it is not only possible but also necessary to do via unifying, joining our efforts and devotion. And via remembering that everything we have today and will have tomorrow is owing to those who fell for their homeland. This is one of the most important conditions to have a future and to preserve our identity.
Dear parents, let me take this opportunity and once again bow my head to pay tribute to your sons. The notion “nothing is forgotten, nobody is forgotten” will always remain the ground for our work and life in general. We will go on working, creating and living for the sake of your priceless sons and daughters and for those who is carrying on defending the borders of our country proving the idea of Sparapet Vazgen Sargsyan that “only those nations who haven’t got tired halfway have been able to win and create a state”.
