Hovik Abrahamyan: paying tribute to victims of terrorist act, we again say our decisive "No" to terrorism

PanARMENIAN.Net - Today, members of the Armenian National Assembly attended a ceremony to commemorate the victims of October 27, 1999 terrorist act, the RA NA press office reported.



Opening the ceremony the RA NA Speaker, Mr. Hovik Abrahamyan said, "Every year on October 27, paying tribute to the victims of the severe crime of October 27, 1999, we again say our decisive "No" to terrorism, intolerance and animosity. Though 9 years have passed, all of us feel the pain that befell us that day. We again say that such crimes have no limitation period, and we must do everything in our power to prevent their repetition. Every time gathering at this memorial stone we should again ensure that our strength is in our unity, and only together we can build more dignified and prosperous Armenia, which I am sure, was the dream of Karen Demirchyan, Vazgen Sargsyan, Yuri Bakhshyan and our other colleagues.



As Speaker of the National Assembly I confidently say that I'll do everything possible for consent, tolerance and respect in our republic. And the most worthy tribute to our dead colleagues is the implementation of the programs and ideas, which they followed. I don't doubt that we shall have the Armenia, we and our deceased friends dreamt about."
