Berdzor liberation paved Nagorno-Karabakh people’s way to freedom

The prime minister of Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) on Monday congratulated the residents of Berdzor (Kashatagh region) on the 23rd anniversary of the village’s liberation.

“The entire Kashatagh region is under the care of the Nagorno-Karabakh authorities, and the large-scale socio-economic programs implemented here are the best response to the rumors about the region’s dim political future. This is an ancient Armenian piece of land, so we all are obliged to preserve and make it prosperous, considering especially the historical justice reinstated 23 years ago by the force of arm of the Armenian soldier,” he said.

The prime minister also extended his word of gratitude to his companions-in-arms who, together with him, participated in the village’s liberation May 18, 1992.

According to a press release by the Nagorno-Karabakh Government, Harutyunyan later visited the Berdzor Area Studies Museum to get familiarized with the items on display, as well as the building conditions. At the end, he attended the final round of a billiard match organized under his high patronage on the occasion of the remarkable day.
