Novelist, writer and publicist Hovik Vardumyan noted: “Our dreams, aspirations and lament for losses are all summed up in this word- independence. Our ancestors have been dreaming about independence for centuries, have fought for it in a number of ways, but haven’t reached it. It continued till we realized that we should rely only on ourselves, we determined and reached our goals. Our dream came true. We deserve to be independent but we should also preserve it.” Composer, songwriter, director of “Haykazun” musical ensemble, participant of Artsakh war and Honored Worker of Culture of RA Gagik Haykazun mentioned: “An inspiration made us neglecting everything, stand up and win. I participated in the war not only physically but also through my songs. The patriotic song “Getashen” was written during those years.” Yelena Yerevan, accompanied by the audience performed minstrel Haykazun’s songs. Afterwards, many people shared their memories, among them the veteran of the Armenian Secret Army for the Liberation of Armenia and “Van” operation commander Vazgen Sislyan, novelist, writer, publicist and translator Grigor Janikyan, state and public figure, writer, publicist, Artsakh war veteran, Colonel Eduard Khachikyan.
