“Armenpress” was informed from the Department of Mass Media and Public Relations of the Armenian President’s office that the President, accompanied by the freedom fighter Dushman Vardan’s relatives and members of Armenian Defense Ministry, visited patriotic education room, museum and those rooms of the House-Museum where the freedom fighter spent his 26 years of life.
Serzh Sargsyan left a note in the guestbook of the House-Museum. “Vardan Stepanyan is a true example of conscious and farsighted intellectual; example of volunteer, dedicated himself to protecting the homeland. With the discipline and courage he was already an example for his service mates when he was alive. His last glorious battle path is the path of our whole army, Dushamn Vardan and the like stood in the origins of the establishment of our army.
I am convinced that the House-Museum, which is intended to perpetuate his memory, will serve for making the example of Vardan Stepanyan instructive for the future generations,” Armenia President wrote.
