Karabakhi people, especially the youth, get insulted whenever they
hear the phrase "liberated territories."
The Nagorno Karabakh Republic has fixed its borders in the country's
Constitution. Today the country leads a quiet life.
Karabakhi youth are more resolute in their viewpoints and are not
interested in the events outside the NKR.
They help Karabakhi servicemen to dig trenches in frontier areas.
"This is not the first time we are participating in the army's
engineering works. We set no discrimination among male and female
volunteers. Girls are also welcome to participate in the protection
of our country," head of the Youth Union, Gegham Stepanian said to A1+.
"We are not interested in the negotiations between the Armenian and
Turkish Presidents. This land is ours and we shall not cede it. If
we dig trenches here, it means we are ready to protect our land. No
one else but Karabakhi people can handle the Karabakh issue. We are
ready to take up arms instead of a spade as we did during the war,"
said Anush Ghavalian.
"We are the masters of our country and we shall surrender no
territory," added her friend Ani Martirosian.
"We don't have liberated territories. We have a country we have built
with our hands and we must pass it to our generations as our parents
did at the cost of their blood," announced Hovhannes Madasian.
