YEREVAN. – Yerevan city Mayor Taron Margaryan hosted the Artsakh
[Nagorno-Karabakh] liberation war veterans on the occasion of the 20th
anniversary of the Shushi city liberation.

`The Artsakh war has testified to the fact once again that there is no
greater value that homeland and its protection. Based on it we
defeated the enemy, proving that any weapon is useless against the
will and unity of the Armenians. While the liberation of Shushi, which
put a start for the victories in the Artsakh war, proved that Armenian
military thought and soul recognizes no limits,’ the mayor said.

Expressing gratitude on the name of the veterans to the Mayor, the
Artsakh war hero, legendary Commandos, Arkadi Ter-Tadevosyan said that
the initiative was a great opportunity to meet with friends and share
the nice and sad moments of the war.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
