The population of 21,000 of Shahumayn region and of Getashen
sub-region was forcibly displaced by Azerbaijani bandits 20 years ago
and 21 years ago, respectively. 18 Armenian villages of northern
Artsakh were occupied by the enemy and still remain occupied by the
Azerbaijani armed forces.
Now already casting a sober look at the history, the specialists note:
there has been a period when Azerbaijan's forces exceeded ours. In
June 1992, when the enemy launched a large-scale attack on Shahumyan
region, there was no enough military equipment for defense. The deputy
head of the Literature Institute Vardan Devrikyan states: under the
threat of weapon and death the population migrated from their homeland
and spread all over the world.
"Shahumyan's fall was a blunt blow and very few people can know the
real reason, or maybe it was a special conspiracy, a global political
issue. In any case, it was noticed with a naked eye the enemy had
advantage at that moment in terms of military equipment and our
defense system had exhausted itself in a sense. And it is not casual
that a transfer took place from the detachment system to a defense
army after Shahumyan's fall," Devrikyan said.
"Especially the churches and the cemeteries are viewed as kinds of
monuments which more acutely prove the Armenian origin and they are
becoming a target for destroying. In Shahumyan region there are
several bridges and fountains, which they don't destroy. They just get
rid of the construction minutes and continue to make use of the
fountains or the bridges built by Armenians," monument specialist
Samvel Karapetyan said.
