18 YEARS AGO BERDZOR WAS LIBERATED

It was 18 years ago, in 1992 on this very day when the subdivisions of
the defense forces of the NKR entered Lachin (now Berdzor, Kashatagh
region), thus they broke the 3 years long ring of blockade.
On May 9 in 1992 after liberating Shushi and abolishing the fire points
in the surrounding regions the self-defending forces of the NKR got
another mission to open the road of Shushi-Lachin-Zabukh which was
of a vital importance. It would allow stopping the blockade of Artsakh.
On May 18 the Karabakh subdivisions which were being formed during
the military activities entered Lachin, and on May 20 through the
corridor of Goris-Stepanakert hundreds of tones of humanitarian cargo
were delivered to the capital city of the NKR, food; medicine and
other essential items. Thus this road was called the "Road of Life".
After the military activities of Shushi – Lachin the tension reduced
a little bit in the zone. The liberation of Lachin became the logical
conclusion of Shushi – Lachin strategic operation.
