YEREVAN — Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and his wife, Anna Hakobyan, visited the Yerablur military cemetery on Saturday to pay their respects to the fallen troops.

Pashinyan also shared a brief message on his Facebook page, stating that those who died in the war opened a new opportunity for the nation to have a state. “Only in the years following the 44-day war did we fully and deeply understand what had transpired around us since the first days of independence. Moreover, we still have to digest what has been revealed; we still have to understand it and draw the correct conclusions, which is not easy. The pain is too great, the emotions too intense, and thus the space for objective judgment and analysis is too small. For me, the conclusion is clear: our martyrs opened a new opportunity for us to have a state. We started to lose that opportunity (unknowingly) almost immediately after gaining independence, and after October 27, 1999, it seemed we lost it irrevocably. The martyrs created a new opportunity for us,” the Prime Minister noted.
