Dear Arthur, today I should have congratulated you on your birthday in a completely different mood and with accomplishments, as that was my promise made in front of your grave. This is what the President of Artsakh, Araik Harutyunyan, wrote on his Facebook page.

He also noted, “But the trials that time has brought upon us lead us to a completely different point, and the only salvation is to remain faithful to the chosen path. We continue to live by the ideals and values you taught us, and no disaster can change our goals. My respect for your memory. Happy birthday!”
