PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian Defense Minister believes the 20th anniversary of independence to be the most significant achievement of the Republic of Armenia.

“20 years of independence helped Armenian army demonstrate its best qualities like it did at today's military parade. Those 20 years gave us a chance to better evaluate the atmosphere of safety as well as threats to Armenia, enabling all governmental authorities to contribute to provision of their country's security,” Seyran Ohanyan stated.

Today, September 21, Yerevan's Republic Square hosted a military parade dedicated to the 20th anniversary of the Republic of Armenia.

A vast range of Armenian defense weaponry was featured, with Armenian, Artsakh and Russian defense army soldiers marching at the parade.
