Pashinyan`s message on Armenia`s Independence Day: I apologize for  mistakes we have made and will continue to make as man is fallible.

ArmInfo.The essence and purpose of the activities of the Government of  Armenia is to practically answer  <Yes> every day to the question posed in the 1991 referendum. This is stated in the message of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan on the occasion of Independence Day.

 As the Prime Minister  noted, since 1991, Armenia has gone through many trials: wars,  thousands of victims, blockades, economic and political crises and  emigration. <As a result, we realized more objectively that the  question put in the referendum in 1991 requires an answer every day,  and we need to answer that question not only at the polling station,  but also through our behavior and activities,>he noted.

The Prime Minister <states with satisfaction> that our country's  independence level is growing day by day <thanks to democracy,  balancing and a balanced foreign policy>.  <Since the People's,  non-violent, velvet revolution of 2018, the benchmark of all our  decisions has been and continues to be independence, statehood,  democracy, and the concretization and objectification of these  concepts based on international rules.  In this process, we have made  mistakes and failed. Still, by reaching the brink of losing  independence in 2020, we have got a real opportunity to put the  theoretical thesis of the sustainability of our state on practical  rails with the strategy of <Real Armenia,> Pashinyan emphasized. 

According to the Prime Minister, the referendum on independence is  taking place today, tomorrow, every day.  <The referendum question is  answered  every day by everyone who pay taxes"yes", and hide taxes ";  "yes" by those who work honestly, and "no" by those who take bribes;  "yes" by those who respects the law, and "no" by those who consider  breaking the law as a means of self-realization.  I bow to the people  who said "Yes" and are saying "Yes" in the Independence Referendum, I  love them and am proud of them. I apologize for all the obvious and  possible mistakes that we have made and, if we say so, will continue  to make, because man is fallible.  It is important not to lose sight  of the main goal of Independence and statehood of the Republic of  Armenia, as a platform and mechanism to ensure its citizens'  security, freedom and well-being on its internationally recognized  territory of 29,743 square kilometers,> the head of the RA Cabinet of  Ministers concluded.
