I would like to recall the slogan that people were screaming here at Renaissance Square back in 1988, and that slogan was “Unification”. This is what Armenia’s Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said in his speech at the Pan-Armenian Rally in Stepanakert (capital of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic) and suggested everyone to respect the memory of all the martyrs of the heroic battle for Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh Republic) with a moment of silence.
“To pay tribute to our martyrs, all the veterans, generals, officers and soldiers of the heroic battle for Artsakh, I would like to begin my speech in an unusual way by reading the poem that I wrote in 2016 at the voluntary military position of the Defense Army in the Martakert region. The poem is entitled “The Armenian Troops in the Plain” and shows that the battle for the liberation of Artsakh became a turning point in our lives,” Pashinyan said.
