Soloist of world famous “System of a Down” rock group, musician and composer Serj Tankian has presentred a song devoted to Artsakh. “Armenpress” reports the singer wrote on his Facebook page, “A few days ago I was inspired to write a song for the people of Artsakh (NagornoKarabagh).

Thereafter the stars lined up quickly and we filmed a video and are having the video premiere on RollingStone.com. I’m very grateful for this. Special thanks to Rand Courtney for helping us put this together so quickly”. Tankian posted the link to the song as well. “These people have lived on those lands for thousands of years. They have struggle but also great beauty written on their foreheads. The whimsical appropriation of land by an empire (Stalin) placed them under Azerbaijan.

They have since gained their independence and have lived a prosperous existence for the last 20 or so years. I do not believe in wars and ultimately borders but I deeply believe in self-determination and life without oppression. Therefore it is time for the world to recognize them as the Republic of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh)”, Tankian mentioned in Rollingstone.com.
