Armenia’s former Ombudsman Arman Tatoyan issued a statement on the 30th anniversary of the liberation of Artsakh’s Shushi town marked on Sunday, May 8.

“The Armenian fortress town of Shushi was liberated 30 years ago, on May 8 1992,” he wrote on Facebook.

“Shushi is currently under Azerbaijani occupation through war crimes and crimes against humanity as natural consequences of an Azerbaijani systematic state policy of Armenophobia; ethnic and religious animosity towards Armenians,” Tatoyan said.
