Today’s ceremonies in Berdzor, Kashatagh, marking the 18th anniversary
of Artsakh independence, took on a decidely political overtone. More
than 1,000 people, some from as far away as Vayots Dzor and Syunik,
joined local government officials at the ceremony organized by the
Kashatagh Regional Administration and the ARF.
Davit Ishkhanyan, a representative of the ARF’s Artsakh Central
Committee, told "Hetq" over the phone that the assembled throng had
made it clear once again that the liberated territories were not
subject to negotiation, despite whatever diplomatic processes are
taking place in various European capitals. Mr. Ishkhanyan added that
people were loudly chanting "No Way" whenever the Madrid Principles
were mentioned and that the recent Armenian-Turkish negotiation
protocols were also met with boos and hisses from the crowd.
