The people of Artsakh organized a rally of many thousands today in parallel with the extraordinary session of the National Assembly, Artak Beglaryan wrote on his Facebook.

About 40 thousand citizens (about 33% of the whole population) gathered from Stepanakert and its districts and the National Assembly confirmed our will and determination to control our destiny and defend our Motherland. Artsakh was not and will not be part of Azerbaijan.

"WE ARE THE MASTERS OF OUR HOMELAND AND WE CONTINUE TO FIGHT FOR OUR RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS."
