9th of May has another name – Shoushi liberation day. 70 years ago the Azeris illegally took away the Armenian lands and wanted to possess them forever turning out the Armenians from Artsakh. However the proud Artsakh Armenian rose to become the master of his faith.

My father was one of the millions of people, tens of thousands Armenians who forged the victory… Each year I put flowers on his grave. However, the last 15 years being in foreign land I have no possibility to fulfill my filial duty. I wrote a few lines in my father’s memory – Virab Haroutyunyan, who was at War for 5 years and returned with victory.

The key of Artsakh’s liberation was Shoushi and we had to obtain that key. If we act according to war regulations, for Shoushi liberation 300 pieces of ordnance were needed, but what we had we could count on our fingers…
In Shoushi we gained not only a military victory, Shoushi was the culmination of victories of the Armenian Soldier’s spirit. Shoushi destroyed the spin of the Azeris.
