1. This was so sad to read and such a terrible loss of life. Another example of terrorist uninvited illegal aliens who deprived our culture of two future families. That last line really got me.

   This should be a reminder to all of us, that we are still in a state of war. A cease-fire does not equal a peace treaty. Our full support of one another and unity is our only option.

2. Nothing surprising that the terrorist bignose has cowardly ordered this. The question is why is it that Armenia’s response so far been so weak? Why is it that we are still talking about peace and negotiating with these cowards? Why is it that we haven’t yet recognized Artsakh as an independent state and what are we waiting for? For the so-called international community to give us the green light to recognize the independence of our own land? I was so pissed off on this that couldn’t focus on my work the whole day. When will we finally understand that this people do not deserve any negotiation, they don’t even want Artsakh, they simply hate us because we are their opposite and we have always been. We have always been the builder and they the destroyer. We have always been the brave underdog and they the coward Goliath which is only capable of stabbing people from behind or when they are asleep.
   Operate the Airport in Artsakh, recognize Artsakh at least at the parliamentary level, cut all cultural and athletic ties with them and for every person killed, kill at least three.

3. Beautifully written Ms. Chouldjian.
   Thank You.

   Was very hard for me to read the whole article in one sitting: I had to stop…then come back later.

   Yes indeed: unconditional love and support for the Motherland.
   Armenian mothers who forever lost their most previous ‘possessions’ in this world deserve no less.

4. The sad story and his bravery bought tears to my eyes. RIP brother.

5. So~~~~~~o sad, jartvadz jaanid madagh mer sirun zinvor.

6. Our history has proven since time immemorial that you can not have a peace with the bloody Turks until such time that you hit them, and hit them hard.

7. So we have soldiers on front lines defending our country with inaccurate weapons? So who is really responsible for their death?

8. I understand that there are compelling reasons and international pressure on Armenia for actions so far but the international community has shown no back bone or interest for more than two decades to stand by its publicised “right for self determination” when it is not in their interest. It is about time we defended our borders and our homeland robustly. We don’t have to be the aggressor like Azerbiajan but should deal punitively with any border violation to deter any further act of aggression. Unfortunately, that is the only language the Azeris understand>

9. Hopefully their deaths will cause other Artsakh soldiers to keep their rifles ready whenever it’s possible to confront the enemy. At least they would have had a fighting chance.

10. Armenia and its people need to always be ready for possibility of war. Unfortunately. Also I would always respond, and not necessarily immediately, in some manner so the Azeri’s understand there are always consequences. They need to feel the pain.

11. I have said this many times before: why not allow diaspora youth the ability to serve a 2-4 year term in the Armenian military. This will combat train a whole generation of ready and available fighters just in case of war. Worse case, many might eventually stay and start families, businesses etc in Armenia after their service time. Its a win win.
