Armenia – April 2 2022

PanARMENIAN.Net - On the 6th anniversary of the April 2016 War, the Secretary of the Security Council of Nagorno-Karabakh and State Minister Artak Beglaryan, accompanied by a group of high-ranking officials, visited the Stepanakert Memorial to lay flowers at the memory of the fallen soldiers.

Six years ago this day, Azerbaijan launched a large-scale military offensive across the entire line of contact with Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh). Clashes that began in the wee hours of April 2 in 2016 lasted four days and were later dubbed the Four-Day War or the April War.

Throughout the military campaign, 64 soldiers, 13 volunteers and four civilians, including a child, were killed and more than 120 people were wounded. According to information from the U.S. Department of State, the Azerbaijanis lost more than 270 people overall.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
