Young members of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation-Dashnaktsutyun political party and the committee of freedom fighters today organized a candlelight ceremony at Yerablur Military Pantheon in memory of the martyred heroes of Artsakh. Before the candlelight ceremony, member of the political party Artsvik Minasyan declared that the struggle continues.

“We have gathered at Yerablur Military Pantheon to pay our respects to the deceased freedom fighters, to mark another anniversary of the declaration of independence of Nagorno-Karabakh together with those who fell for defense of the homeland and to proudly state that we have a part of the liberated homeland today and that the struggle continues. We Armenians have no intentions to cede territories since we have suffered and lost a lot, and the time has come for us to shape the integral homeland. Over time, we must retrieve Artsakh, Nakhchivan, Western Armenia and the other territories that we lost. We congratulate our people from this peak. The time has also come to warn everyone who thinks that Artsakh is just a territory. It’s not just a territory, it’s a homeland, a part of our unified homeland, and there is nothing to cede,” Minasyan said, adding that nations that stand up for their rights are respected and live and that there is no alternative to the ideology of national liberation.
