"May 21 made history. We have assembled here to recall the glorious
events of May 21 and our heroes’ struggle for the liberation of Shushi
and Lachin. They sacrificed their lives to connect Artsakh with Mother
Armenia. No one is going to return Kashatagh to Azerbaijan. The
rumors are fabricated. Do not believe them! We did not liberate
the territories to return later on. We must reconstruct and develop
Kashatagh.
Armenian and Karabakh officialdom should attach great importance to
Kashatagh. We are to restore all the liberated territories," Arkadi
Ghukasyan, the President of Nagorno-Karabakh said during the 15th
anniversary of the Lachin corridor opening.
Under a decree of the NKR President, some residents were awarded
prizes during the ceremony.
It is noteworthy that Lachin corridor is the only bridge between the
NKR and Armenia.
