Commemorating 1.5 million innocent victims of the Armenian Genocide perpetrated by Ottoman Turkey, the youth of Artsakh pays tribute to all the martyrs of the four-day war unleashed by Azerbaijan at the beginning of April, to the heroes who perished while defending Artsakh Republic’s state borders and the people of Artsakh.
Expressing gratitude to all the countries, organizations and individuals who recognized and condemned the Armenian Genocide, the youth of Artsakh considers it necessary to inform the international community that a new genocide attempt was prevented on April 1-5 thanks to the heroism the 18-20 – year – old soldiers of Artsakh Defense Army.
While some states and politicians were working out new diplomatic tricks to avoid the term “genocide” in their April 24 speeches not to “offend” Turkey, Azerbaijan, having forgotten the lessons of its policy of ethnic cleansing and Azerbaijani-Karabakh war unleashed in 1988- 1994 and the fact that it was no longer facing unarmed and stateless Armenians, with brotherly Turkey’s connivance and encouragement, undertook another attempt of genocide against the people of Artsakh,
Even the use of the most advanced weapons and the excessive quantity of its military were powerless against the spirit of the Armenian soldier and the unity of Armenians. They were powerless against the truth – “Those who come with a sword will die of a sword”.
