At Sardarapat, Bash-Aparan, and Gharakilisa, Armenian fighters, clergy, and intellectuals united against annihilation and secured victory for our nation, <strong>Genesis Armenia<\/strong> Think Tank\/Foundation has said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;These heroic battles were not merely military victories; they marked the rebirth of Armenian statehood after centuries of subjugation. Just three years after the Armenian Genocide, the Declaration of Independence of May 28, 1918, proved that we could rise again through courage, unity, and self-determination.<\/p>\n<p>Today, we once again face new challenges. Regional instability, the preservation of Artsakh&rsquo;s legacy, and the defense of Armenian identity require national resilience. The lessons of Sardarapat, Bash-Aparan, and Gharakilisa remind us that independence is secured through strength, vigilance, and unity. A strong Armenia requires military preparedness, economic self-sufficiency, and a renewed commitment to national education, science, and cultural continuity.<\/p>\n<p>May 28 is not only a day to commemorate the victories of the past, but also a call for national revival. The responsibility of preserving Armenian statehood now rests upon us &mdash; in the June 7 elections. The legacy of May 28 demands the participation of all of us in the elections, which today are the key to shaping Armenia&rsquo;s present and future. It is the only path toward national reformation and rebirth.<\/p>\n<p>Just as our ancestors defended the nation against impossible hardships, we too must confront modern threats with confidence and unwavering dedication to the future of Armenia and the Diaspora.<\/p>\n<p>Eternal glory to the heroes of May 1918, and inexhaustible and invincible strength to the Republic of Armenia,&rdquo; reads the statement.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The significance of May 28 and our eternal aspiration for Armenian statehood inspire generations both in Armenia and throughout the Diaspora to preserve the spirit of independence.
