A little while ago, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan visited the Victory Park in Yerevan. He was accompanied by speaker Alen Simonyan of the National Assembly.

High-ranking military personnel and many war veterans are also at Victory Park.

To note, Victory Park has been closed off since early morning, including for reporters.

May 9 had been a triple celebration day for Armenians for years: the victory of the Soviet people in the Second World War, as well as the day of the creation of the Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) Defense Army and the day of the liberation of Artsakh’s Shushi city in 1992. But Armenians have lost Shushi as a result of the painful defeat in the 44-day Artsakh war in the fall of 2020.
