We have an unalienable right to live in our homeland without an existential threat - Henrikh Mkhitaryan
Armenian national team captain and AS Roma midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan wrote on Facebook: "I woke up this morning learning about the large scale attack of Azerbaijani army on Nagorno Karabakh (a de-facto independent state populated by Armenians) targeting civilian population in Stepanakert and surrounding areas.
The Armenian footballer calls on the international community to urgently stand up and to help stop the military actions against the regional peace and security.
"We have an unalienable right to live in our homeland without an existential threat. Our children have the right to live in peace rather than hiding in shelters. I always stand by my Nation," Mkhitaryan wrote on social media.
