YEREVAN, May 10. /ARKA/. Army of NKR is an army of peace and freedom
that will never be a security threat for neighboring countries and

occasion of 13th anniversary of Shushi city liberation, Day of NKR

according to the Press Service of NKR President. "Glorious Victory
was won on this day sixty years ago, which saved the humankind from
Nazi enslavement. Our land is proud of its heroes by right, proud of
renowned military leaders - Marshall Hovhannes Baghramyan, Admiral of
the Fleet Ivan Isakov, Marshall of Aviation Armenak Hamferyants,
other valiant sons and daughters who had immense contribution to rout
of Fascist Germany and its allies ", says the message. According to
Ghukasyan, the coincidence of celebrating NKR Army Day and Shushi
liberation on May 9 is very symbolic. According to him, it symbolizes
the continuity of glorious traditions, determination of today's NKR
generation to vindicate the freedom and independence of
Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, won at the cost of irreplaceable losses.
"Today, we clearly understand that without the liberation of Shushi,
carried out by most elaborated battlecraft, followed by the opening
of Lachin humanitarian corridor, which connects Nagorno-Karabakh with
Armenia, the people op Artsakh would have suffered the fate of our
people in Ottoman Empire in the beginning of the century. The feat of
warriors-liberators of Shushi will never fade!", says the message.
The President noted that the Day of NKR Liberation is the Day of NKR
Defense Army by chance. "Our national Army, born from the hearth of
liberation battles is the most effective guarantor of NKR security,
therefore our state will constantly be focused on the strengthening
of our Army and increasing of its military efficiency", states NKR
President. He also noted that the Armed Forces of NKR are able to
adequately repulse the enemy at any moment, if it makes an attempt to
disturb the peace of Karabakh people. L.V.--0--
