The Government of the Republic of Armenia

Dear colleagues,

Today is October 27. One of greatest tragedies of our newest history happened twelve years ago this day. The appalling crime took away the lives of outstanding Armenian statesmen who stood at the roots of our emerging nationhood.

Let us remember them name by name:

Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia Vazgen Sargsyan
Republic of Armenia National Assembly Speaker Karen Demirchyan,
National Assembly Deputy Speaker Yury Bakhshyan,
National Assembly Deputy Speaker Ruben Miroyan,
Operative Affairs Minister Leonard Petrosyan,

Members of Parliament:

Armenak Armenakyan,
Henrik Abrahamayan,
Mikayel Kotanyan,

Dear colleagues, I suggest paying homage with a minute of silence.

Thank you.
