Armenia – May 6 2023

A group of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) Armenians continue their protest on the Stepanakert-Shushi roadway, the Artsakh Public TV reports.

The young activists of the "NO to the ethnic cleansing in Artsakh" movement started an indefinite protest on May 2, setting up tents on the road.

They demand the removal of the Azerbaijani checkpoint from the Lachin Corridor, the only road in and out of Artsakh.

A public discussion was also held at the protest site. The activists stress that they are not going to end the protest until their demands are met.

“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
