"Frankly speaking, after Shushi I understood the end of the war was
close. And although they continued to shoot for two more years, the
end was close. I only cared about returning home from the basement,
not quivering from every sudden sound, not fearing to let the child go
to school," said a woman of age, looking at the army band which marched
along the streets of Stepanakert on the Day of Liberation of Shushi.
14 years ago fire stopped in Karabakh. Although there are shootings on
the border every now and then, although the traces of war are still
observed in Shushi and other places, 14 years ago people stopped
synchronizing with the war clock.
"Our efforts must be aimed at the prevention of war," said the Armenian
foreign minister Edward Nalbandyan. Many diplomats, mediators speak
about it. They often speak so much that it starts sounding banal.
In the meantime, those who place peace at the top of the corner
are somewhat ironically called pacifists. And are even accused of
insufficient patriotism. As if there is something in the world that
costs lives of thousands of people.
