MAY 9
Armenia marks May 9: the 77th anniversary of victory in the Great Patriotic War, as well as the anniversaries of the liberation of Karabakh’s Shushi and the establishment of the Artsakh Army.
Armenia and Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) will pay tribute to the Armenians who created the victories and became immortal, to the veterans of the Patriotic War, as well as to the Armenian heroes who fought selflessly in the 44-day Artsakh war in the fall of 2020, who gave their lives for the defense of Artsakh and its Shushi city; but Shushi is again occupied by Azerbaijan.
The liberation of Shushi was a crucial phase in the Nagorno-Karabakh War in 1992.
But on September 27, 2020, Azerbaijan launched aggressive military operations against Artsakh—and with the support of Turkey and mercenary terrorists. And after its occupation of Shushi in November, it began to destroy the city and its Armenian trace.
Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan today —accompanied by President Vahagn Khachaturyan, National Assembly (NA) speaker Alen Simonyan, members of the government, and MPs from the ruling majority faction in the NA—visited Yerablur Military Pantheon Monday morning, and paid tribute to the casualties of the war.
As in previous times, however, reporters were not allowed to cover the PM's visit to Yerablur—let alone approaching him.
FIRE
On May 7, at around 1:50 pm, Azerbaijani Armed Forces began intensely firing at the positions of Armenian Armed Forces using different calibers of weaponry on Armenia’s eastern border with Azerbaijan near the Sotk gold mine, informs the Ministry of Defense of Armenia.
The shootings began in the evening of May 6 but intensified midday May 7, informs Ruzanna Grigoryan, Spokesperson for GeoProMining Gold.
As a result the Azerbaijani shooting on May 7, one of the employees of the Sotk gold mine was wounded in his left arm, in the direction of the heart. Fortunately, he did not suffer internal organ injuries and has been hospitalized. He is now in stable condition as the injuries are not life-threatening, per Grigoryan.
The fire of the Azerbaijani units was silenced due to the retaliatory actions of the Armenian side.
DADIVANK
The Azerbaijani authorities do not stop trying to appropriate the Armenian Dadivank Monastery in Karvachar.
Earlier, members of the Albanian-Udi religious community visited the Dadivank Monastery in Karvachar.
The Azerbaijani authorities are attempting to present the ancient Armenian Dadivank Monastery as "Albanian;" thus operating under the scheme, "What cannot be destroyed must be appropriated."
SOAD
Shavo Odadjian and John Dolmayan, two members of the world-famous American Armenian rock band System Of a Down, have welcomed the actions of protest by the opposition Resistance Movement in Armenia.
They posted information about this movement in the Stories section of their Instagram accounts.
Since May 1, the Resistance Movement has been carrying out various acts of civil disobedience in the capital Yerevan and in the provinces of Armenia, demanding the resignation of PM Nikol Pashinyan.
CHURCHES
Azerbaijanis have desecrated the Armenian church in the occupied village of Togh in Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) by tearing the cross on its dome. Political scientist Gagik Hambaryan wrote about this on Facebook, and posted a respective video.
