Armenian Prime Minister, President, Parliament Speaker, and Senior Officials Visit Yerablur on Day of Remembrance for Fallen Heroes Heros

YEREVAN — On the occasion of the Day of Remembrance for those who gave their lives in defense of the homeland, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, President Vahagn Khachaturyan, National Assembly Speaker Alen Simonyan, and other senior officials visited the Yerablur Military Pantheon to pay tribute to the fallen.

It should be recalled that starting this year, January 27 has been designated as the Day of Remembrance for soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the homeland throughout all periods.

In a message marking the occasion, Prime Minister Pashinyan stated: “Honoring the memory of those who fell for the homeland and bowing before them is our duty. This is why a state day of remembrance has been established. But beyond this day, our responsibility does not diminish; on the contrary, it increases—so that the sacrifices of our martyrs are not in vain.”

He added: “A developed, strong, secure, prosperous, and happy Republic of Armenia is the most meaningful way to immortalize the memory of our martyrs and the most visible monument that gives life to their descendants. Today, we are focused precisely on this task: ensuring the continuity of the Republic of Armenia; strengthening our statehood and its institutions; making the state a working instrument for the security and well-being of our citizens; reinforcing our country’s independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity, and the inviolability of its borders; and the continuous development of the national army. These are the steps that will allow us to look to the sky—toward our heavenly army—and receive a smile in return.”
