January 27 to become  Day of Remembrance and Reverence to honor those  who died for  Motherland

ArmInfo.  During  its regular session on October 23,  the Armenian government approved a bill establishing a Day of Remembrance and Reverence to honor  the memory of all those who died for the Motherland in armed conflicts.

As stated in the explanatory note to the document, there is currently  no special day dedicated to honoring and commemorating military  personnel and others who died in military operations throughout  history.  Therefore, the fallen are remembered either various  military event days or on January 28, Army Day, which is more of a  holiday than a day of remembrance.

As a result of the bill's adoption, Army Day, the day preceding  January 28, will be designated as a commemoration and veneration  day-January 27 (a non-working day). This day will honor  the memory  of all  those killed in military operations throughout history and  those who died for the Motherland.

The draft of the corresponding amendments to the Law "On Holidays and  Commemorative Dates" was drafted by independent MP Gegham Nazaryan  and Vice Speaker of Parliament Ruben Rubinyan, a member of the "Civil  Contract" faction.
