The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Artsakh Republic David Babayan wrote on his Facebook page.
“Dear compatriots, friends and party members,
On March 22, 1920, Turkey, Azerbaijan, thugs and murderers recruited in their armies from different regions committed the Shoushi genocide, as a result of which the capital of Artsakh and one of the most important Armenian political and cultural centers, the city of Shoushi, was ruined and destroyed.
Tens of thousands of Armenians were massacred and deported. This bloody page had radically changed the path of Artsakh’s history.
The same thing happened a hundred year later, when Artsakh faced a large scale aggression by the descendants of those who organized the 1920 Shoushi genocide.
We must never forget the Shoushi tragedy. Forgetting tragedies means coming to terms with them and justifying them. The consequences of this amnesia are the disappearance of such a people and state.
All members of the Artsakh Conservative Party these days remember our innocent victims and pray for their immortal souls.
GOD BLESS OUR MOTHERLAND, PEOPLE, STATE AND THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY OF ARTSAKH.
