Dear Brothers, Rise Up: Artzrun Hovhannisyan Appeals to Citizens

In this difficult war for our existence, victory is not an option, but it will not come easily; it is heavy and depends on each of us. This was stated by the representative of the Ministry of Defense of Armenia, Artzrun Hovhannisyan, on his Facebook page.

“Each of us individually holds the key to victory. We must ask ourselves every day what we have done for victory,” he emphasized.

“Dear brothers, draping the Armenian tricolor on your car and driving around Yerevan with patriotic songs at full volume does not contribute to our victory. My female students are forming women's battalions; that is a direct step towards victory. Nari Syuniq is taking concrete steps for victory,” he added.

“Yesterday, a beautiful young woman tearfully begged me to assign her a suicide mission. Be worthy young men for that Armenian woman. Rise up and take action for our existence in this war.”

“Soldiers and officers aged 18-25 have been disregarding death for 20 days for all of us; let us be worthy of them,” he concluded.
