Getashen can be emptied only over my dead body: Tatul Krpeyan

YEREVAN, 21 APRIL, ARMENPRESS.  Today the national hero Tatul Krpeyan would turn 50. A requiem service and an event will be held at near his tomb in the Tatul village of Talin region. The events will be continued throughout the year. A park after the name of Tatul Krpeyan will be opened in autumn, in Yerevan. The reporter of “Armenpress” has a conversation with Aspram Krpeyan, the daughter of Tatul Krpeyan.

- Aspram, You were a child when Your Father was murdered. However, surely, You have stories and memories related to him.

- I was one year old, when my father was murdered. Now, Surely, I can say that I know him a lot better than the people who have had the opportunity and honor to know him as a person, to live and have friendship with him. The year of my life has passed by knowing him and collecting the stories about him. That way, I have tried to fill his physical gap and reveal his human essence. Before taking a decision in my life, I always mindfully ask myself, that what would say my father to me. He is always in my life. The connection with him is very strong.

- How do You describe him, how have You discovered him?

- He is a strong, righteous person. He has never tolerated the injustice and the case of underestimating the weak by strong. The unconditional love towards his homeland is the basis of his ideas. His ideas are based on the unconditional love of the homeland. This love was so great that he could express himself only by one case, which he did, by sacrifice himself. It's not understandable for everyone. The special exceptional individuals, who are aware of the importance of the moment, can devote themselves at the critical point for the noble ideals. My father is an image of exemplary and unique citizen for the Armenian society.

- Do You follow the border situation?

- For me it is a very painful issue. Each time, when I hear about the shootings of border or the murder of soldiers, something new dies in my soul. Due of the work, I am in the center of those news and I cannot show indifference.  Each victim appears to be yours and I am very sorry for them. We talked about image of the heroes, I think, that the guys stand at the frontline are heroes of today, who Inspired by the example of my father and others, defend the security of the homeland. I dream, that the situation of the border becomes calm. I dream, that day comes, when frontier soldiers guard the peaceful border even without the necessity of weapon.
