“Today, in this decisive historical moment, when the Turkish-Azerbaijani and terrorist gangs, using their entire military resources….aimed at extermination and exile of all Artsakh Armenians, who have been living on their native soil for millennia, from their Homeland, we carry on a life and death struggle, in unequal conditions in every respect,” Harutyunyan wrote on his Facebook page.
“Now they are threatening our Homeland and our existence not only along the entire frontline, but have also invested serious military resources in the direction of Shushi, in order to capture the proud Armenian town-fortress at any cost,” Harutyunyan added.
“Shushi is not a city, it is a symbol of determination to live in the own origin of the Armenian people, symbol of the victories of the Armenian people,” he stated. “Shushi is the beating heart of all Armenians.”
He called for uniting together and protecting the frontline of the city, and in case of finding any enemy, he must be punished directly at the gates of the city.
“As the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of Artsakh, I once again call on each and every one of you to unite and defend our Shushi, our Artsakh, our national dignity.”
