President of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) Arayik Haroutyunyan posted the following on his Facebook page:

“Dear compatriots, today during the battle against the enemy’s sabotage infiltration troops in Hadrut I became convinced once again that our boys have a powerful fighting spirit. As you see them peaceful and sober, you feel that they are confident in their battles against the enemy’s troops. By the way, in Hadrut I also encountered one of our legendary commanders of the first Artsakh war Arushan Badasyan, who had rushed from the United States to Artsakh as soon as heard that the war had broken out.

We are standing up for our land, and the process is incessant.

Glory to the Armenian people who will live and create on their native land forever!”
