News - Karabakh president visits Yerevan military pantheon

Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) President Samvel Shahramanyan visited Yerablur Military Pantheon in Yerevan Thursday morning. He was accompanied by members of the Artsakh government, MPs of the National Assembly, and clergymen. The latter recited The Lord's Prayer. Shahramanyan, however, did not answer the reporters' questions. May 9 had been a triple celebration day for Armenians for years: the victory of the Soviet people in the Second World War, as well as the day of the creation of the Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) Defense Army and the day of the liberation of Artsakh’s Shushi city in 1992. But Armenians have lost Shushi as a result of the painful defeat in the 44-day Artsakh war in the fall of 2020.
