SHOUSHI LIBERATION PROVED THAT ARMENIAN SOLDIER IS INVINCIBLE- MAY 9 IS TRIPLE VICTORY DAY FOR ARMENIANS
11:36 â~@¢ 09.05.14
It is exactly 22 years that the May 9 Day of Victory and Peace has
been having a triple significance for the Armenian nation.
The liberation of Shoushi, a town-fortress in the Nagorno-Karabakh
Republic (Artsakh), added to the glorious victory in the Great
Patriotic War in the 1940's. The Nagorno-Karabakh Army came into
existence shortly afterwards.
"The liberation of Shoushi can be definitely described as a drastic
landmark in the Artsakh War, which eventually shattered our belief
that the Turk is invincible. No wonder that Shoushi marked the chain
of victories: Artsakh was liberated in 1993-1994, the long-awaited
ceasefire being concluded in 1994. " historian Ashot Melkonyan told
Tert.am.
He described the liberation of Shoushi as an outstanding victory in
the history of Armenians. "Shoushi came to prove that the Armenian
soldier is undefeated. When condemned, [an Armenian] prefers the most
difficult path in the most inextricable situation. In a blockade and
isolated from Armenia, Shoushi was liberated on the night of May 9.
And a week later, it opened way to the Republic of Armenia through
the Lachin corridor," the historian added.
He said it isn't right to attribute the military operation that led
to the town's liberation to single individuals. "The entire Armenian
nation had its contribution here without any exaggeration," he said,
naming all the legendary hero veterans who had developed the plan.
The historian said he doesn't agree with those who underestimate the
younger generation's potential of committing heroic feats. "I do not
absolutely share that opinion. I am sure that this generation will
fight if destined to. Many young people who are next to us may become
heroes tomorrow," he noted.
Melkonyan further stressed the importance of strengthening the freedom
and turning it into an enduring peace, without losing an inch of land.
Shoushi, a strategically important town of Artsakh from where
Azerbaijanis continuously bombed capital Stepanakert, was fully
liberated 22 years ago this day.
The event is considered the first big victory in the Artsakh liberation
war. The heroic operation also created economic advantages for the
entire country which was in a state of collapse in the wake of missile
attacks against Stepanakert and the neighboring towns and villages.
