On August 28, in Sardarapat, we expressed our appreciation and paid our respects to Armenian servicemen on the occasion of the victorious battles led in July. Our visit today, which is ending with an unprecedented concert (as a matter of fact, the Armenian National Philharmonic has never played in Berd and the people of Berd couldn’t even remember the last time a classical music concert was held in Berd), and today’s events are dedicated to the heroic people of Tavush Province and our heroic people of the Berd region. This is what Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan said during the opening of the 21st Yerevan Perspectives International Music Festival in Berd and summed up his visit to the borderline villages of Tavush Province.

“Our victory in July was shaped by our armed forces, but the heroic people of Berd and the Tavush Province were the strong rear for them. Today we can state facts and repeat the word ‘unprecedented’ a few times in order to show that victories are shaped through collective efforts and consistency,” Pashinyan said.

Pashinyan stated that today he had visited a few borderline villages where roads, homes, roofs and parks are under construction.

“No house has been built in our borderline Chinari village since Armenia’s declaration of independence. Today, a house for a family of ten is being built from scratch in Chinari, and construction is set to end by the end of this year. Throughout the 300 years of its existence, Movses village has never had an asphalted road. Today, there is a road that meets all modern requirements. The Nerkin Karmiraghbyur village has never had an asphalted road during the period of independence, but today, there is a new road, and there will be a new park by the end of this year. Another village that has never had an asphalted road is the Aygepar village, but all the streets are asphalted, and the roofs of homes damaged from shelling are being repaired. Today’s concert is entitled “Culture-Rear”, and it expresses the vision for development of our settlements. We want people to not only be invited to these concerts, but also to pay for tickets at ticket booths in villages and to see people afford to pay for tickets to classical music concerts. With this concert, we are shaping the vision of the strategy for the development of our country, our regions and our borderline villages. Dear residents of Berd village, today we have come to give thanks for keeping the rear of the army strong. During escalation of the situation on the border in 2015, as a Member of Parliament, I visited Aygepar village. In one of the homes, I told a local that this is the last home in Armenia, and he corrected me and said this is the first home in Armenia. We have come here to say that the idea of that resident of Aygepar has become a state policy, which will be implemented consistently,” Pashinyan stated.
