The link wasn't working when I clicked it, but I found the above link to be presently okay.

Just a little background info for the song: "Sparapet" (Military leader) was written for Vazgen Sargsyan. Info about him can be found online. He was a true hero for Armenia. He was one of the very few people in government not involved in corruption, and unfortunately he was assassinated for that very reason while at work. He was a veteran, author, politician, and a true hero for my Armenian nation.


All right, from your resident Armenian , here we go:
