Artsakh president appeals for unity as Azerbaijan employs 'serious military resources' in direction of Shushi
Artsakh President Arayik Harutyunyan has issued a new video message on his Facebook page.
"Today, at this decisive historical moment, when the Turkish-Azerbaijani terrorist bandits are attacking Artsakh with all their military resources, aim to eliminate the nation which has been living in their motherland for thousands of years and expel them from their homeland, we are waging a life or death fight in unequal conditions in all respects,' the president said.
In Harutyunyan's words, the enemy is threatening our motherland and existence not only through the entire perimeter of the frontline but has also accumulated serious military resources in direction of Shushi, aiming to conquer the Armenian fortress town at any cost.
"Shushi is not just a town but the symbol of Armenians' will to live on the land of their forefathers, the symbol of victories of the Armenian people. Shushi is the beating heart of all Armenians. As the Commander-in-Chief of Artsakh, I once again appeal you to join to defend together our Shushi, our Artsakh and our national dignity," the President said in his message.
