From the early morning residents are flocking to the Unknown Soldier Monument in Stepanakert to honor soldiers that sacrificed their lives for the independence of Artsakh.

Everyone in an interview to Aysor.am correspondent emphasized the importance of this day.
According to one elderly Stepanakert resident “thanks to this day, thanks to combined actions against enemy, otherwise the Armenians would be on the verge of destruction”.

The younger generation of Artsakh which haven’t had to endure the heavy military days, recognized the importance of this day a little bit weaker.

They note this red-letter day, they recognize their independence, but they don’t know about the difficulties this victory passed through. In an interview to our correspondent all of them noticed that the people of Artsakh having found the Independence would never be under the yoke any more.
