I Thank our General, Hero of Nagorno-Karabakh Vitaly Balasanyan: Serzh Sargsyan

Armenian authorities took all possible measures to avoid human losses, President Sargsyan announced at a meeting with representatives of the society, leadership and clergy.

“In this regard I first of all thank the representatives of law enforcement agencies for their work. Equanimity and generosity are indicators of self-consciousness of professionalism and strength. You fully displayed this. I am grateful for your literate work. I am grateful to those who gave the Hippocratic Oath, for their admirable behavior, I bow to their professionalism, for the courage of their spirit. I thank our General, hero of Nagorno Karabakh Vitaly Balasanyan, who became a symbol of reason these days”, the President said.

According to Serzh Sargsyan, the unacceptable situation ended, however the complete resolve is still up ahead. According to him, first of all a detailed investigation must be carried out, a thorough and impartial investigation, open trial. Everyone should be held accountable for their actions in the face of law and law only. The President underscored any other manifestations won’t happen, any attempt of personal vengeance will be thwarted by the force of law.

“All proceedings in Armenia will take place exclusively in accordance to the Constitution and Laws. It is time to make conclusions. The complete analysis of these events will require a long time. However one thing is obvious: the process of fundamental changes in the political and public life in Armenia must be accelerated. First of all we have to eliminate the devastating mindset of solving issues through violence. We no longer have the right to tolerate even the tendency of solving issues through weapons, the next one can be devastating for our country. The previous two weeks, and our losses of that time are unacceptable: starting from human, social, value losses, to the huge blow which our economy suffered. Not a single country of the world has the right to afford such thing. Moreover Armenia didn’t have this right. Henceforth we won’t allow anyone to take our country hostage”, the President added.
