A Commemoration Ceremony for those who gave their lives for the sake of the homeland was held today in the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin.
The commemoration ceremony, presided over by the Catholicos of All Armenians, took place after the Holy Liturgy.
The RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, the RA President Armen Sarkissian, other high-ranking officials were present at the ceremony.
Catholicos of All Armenians Karekin II called to put aside all ambitions in the face of a hard and difficult reality. It is the duty of everyone to make every sacrifice to overcome the situation for the sake of the homeland's security and future. "The homeland must be protected from new shocks", said the Catholicos.
A few days ago, the Catholicos of All Armenians and the RA President had called for declaring November 22 a day of remembrance for the heroes who died defending the homeland in the Artsakh war. It was decided to hold a memorial service in all Armenian churches that day.
