STEPANAKERT. - Neither a festive concert nor firework display will take place in Nagorno-Karabakh Monday.

“There will be fewer splendors, considering that 40 days haven’t yet passed since the death of our heroes,” the Spokesperson for Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR/Artsakh) President Davit Babayan told Armenian News – NEWS.am.

Like in the previous years, the officials will visit the memorial complex in Stepanakert, where a small parade will be held. This will be followed by a visit to the city of Shousi.

On May 9, Karabakh celebrates liberation of Shoushi, anniversary of Karabakh Defense Army establishment and victory in the Great Patriotic War.
