“Vano Siradeghyan said: there is only one step on the way to independence…”
We shouldn’t discuss the independence of Armenia as a good or bad value: ahead of Independence Day announced HAK party Deputy Aram Manukyan. “Congratulations, love this holiday. We are asked a question, do we need this independence? It’s a shame to ask such a question, I am sorry for that. This value can’t be discussed,”- he noted. Aram Manukyan remembers that the independence of Armenia wasn’t easy to achieve. The enemy fired and 500 000 people were homeless on the earthquake zone. Aram Manukyan considers that the achievement of these 23 years was that Armenians understood that they are the owners of their country, “Vano Siradeghyan said: there is only one step on the way to independence, that you are the owners of your country, the rest will come by itself,”- remembered Aram Manukyan. We remind that on August 23, 1990 Aram Manukyan read the declaration of independence at the Armenia's Supreme Council session and a year later, on September 21, 1991, referendum of independence was held in Armenia, where 94,99 percent voted for the independence of Armenia.
