Armenian military deserves dignified leadership that would not  humiliate them to please the enemy - Arman Tatoyan 

ArmInfo.The Armenian military deserves to have a dignified leadership that won't humiliate them to please the enemy. This was stated by Arman Tatoyan, the prime ministerial candidate from the Wings of Unity Party, in connection with the military parade held by the Armenian authorities to mark  First Republic Day.

Tatoyan noted that, despite everything, he is proud of the Armenian  military and the equipment the country has had and will continue to  acquire. "I am proud of our military, their march, wherever and  whenever it may be. We must admire the men and women who bravely  guard our borders every day. I am proud of the military equipment our  country has. And I am proud of the equipment our country has had and  will acquire. Peace is only possible with strength," the politician  emphasized in his Facebook post.

However, he urged a proper understanding of the true goals and  context of the military parade held by the Armenian authorities  today. Tatoyan expressed his conviction that the current Armenian  leadership is attempting to conceal its failures over the years in  power. "The current Prime Minister of Armenia, Nikol Pashinyan, and  his entourage humiliate our military, their families, and our  veterans every day, thus attempting to hide six years of their  failures from the Armenian people. Meanwhile, over these years, they  have brought three major wars, three defeats, and the second Armenian  genocide. Our military deserves dignified leadership-one that doesn't  humiliate them to please enemies. Dear compatriots, June 7  (parliamentary elections in Armenia - ed.) is the day of our  country's liberation. We must take it back. You should not be  governed by people who disrespect your heroism and the sacrifices  your family has made. Long live the Armenian Army!" Tatoyan  concluded.

As a reminder, Armenia celebrates First Republic Day on May 28. On  this day, a parade is held in Republic Square, where the country's  authorities showcase their newly acquired weapons. The last  large-scale military parade in Armenia took place on September 21,  2016, in Republic Square in Yerevan, following the 4-day April War of  2016.
