18:24 . 18/05
Lachin corridor was given the names "A road of life", "A bridge of
hope" and many other names. By Lachin's liberation Artsakh came out
of the three-year-long blockade. Lachin became a corridor connecting
Artsakh with Armenia. In translation Lachin means "a white eagle".
The two stone eagle-like totems located in the present region of
Kashatagh 5000 years before Christ are considered the symbol of
the province in the geological museum. These exhibits belonging
to the culture of Kur-Araks region are the oldest, which prove
that the terrain was Armenian. On May 18, 1992 when Artsakh's
self-defense forces entered Kashatagh, Lachin again became
Armenian. According to military sources, the military operation of
opening Shushi-Lachin-Zabukh road of vital importance was planned
after Shushi's liberation.
In the result of the military operation on May 17 and 18 Artsakh's
self-defense forces took Tsaghkadzor, Kanach tala, Metsshen,
Hinshen villages under their control. On May 18 Karabakh's units
entered Lachin then came out to Armenia's state border opening "a
humanitarian corridor."
In this way a humanitarian corridor was formed, an overland route
between Armenia and Artsakh. The 7km-long gap between Armenia
and the Nagorno-Karabakh disappeared by Lachin's liberation. The
Nagorno-Karabakh got an opportunity to breathe freely after the
blockade lasting for several years.
