Soldiers are often celebrated as heroes, but some people say they don’t automatically deserve that title. Critics say calling everyone a hero is insulting to the actual heroes. Not every soldier is a hero, and not every war is just. Others say referring to soldiers as heroes is done out of respect and gratitude for their personal sacrifice, not matter how big or small. They are risking their lives to keep us safe, and acknowledging their sacrifice is the least we can do.

I am proud to be Armenian. I’m proud that we have a strong army, smart, resilient and brave fighters. Now are very difficult times for us, we are fighting against our enemy, who is cynically trying to capture our ancient city, Artsakh.

But my nation stands firm like a man on its feet; we will not allow one gram of land to be the enemy. So we have to be strong, united, fight and win like one man. I am Armenian and we will win.
