ArmInfo. On the 18th anniversary  of the terrorist attack in the Armenian Parliament on October 27,  1999, Armenian officials, servicemen, and members of the Artsakh war  visited the Yerablur pantheon to pay homage to the memory of Sparapet  Vazgen Sargsyan. Among the officials who visited the pantheon were  Armenian Deputy Defense Ministers Artak Zakaryan and Artak Davtyan,  Armenian Defense Minister Vigen Sargsyan, General Manvel Grigoryan,  representatives of the Yerkrapah Volunteer Union, Vazgen Sargsyan's  brother Armen Sargsyan, former Syunik Governor Surik Khachatryan, as  well as representatives of the Ministry of Emergency Situations and  etc.

In an interview with journalists, Manvel Grigoryan noted that new  Vazgen Sargsyan and Karen Demirchyan are still to be born in Armenia.

On October 27, the deputies of the National Assembly of Armenia paid  a minute of silence to the memory of the victims of the terrorist act  and laid flowers in the yard of the Parliament to the monument of  eternity.  At the meeting with journalists, Babloyan noted that he  does not connect the events that took place on October 27 with the  impulses coming from outside and with politics. In particular, he  said: "Of course, many people try to find political implication in  the terrorist act, but I am convinced that it is not there." What  happened is the tragedy of all of us. Today is a day of remembrance  that should always remind us of what is necessary be tolerant and  respect all that we have created over the centuries, and today we  have created a state that we can build correctly. "

According to Ara Babloyan, it is natural that in such situations,  society always believes that reality will never be revealed. "The  people who committed this were exposed," the speaker said.

As for what would happen in the country, if the tragedy occurred on  October 27, the speaker said: "The government can only develop to the  degree that people trust it, and in this regard, I do not think there  is a huge difference. there is a slow but very clear progress, and  this is connected with various factors, and I still do not think that  in this case we would have a qualitatively different Armenia, "  Babloyan said.
