Congratulations, you all deserve to live in peace and free!!!
I understand that the article is about the liberation of Shushi, but in Armenia it is celebrated along with the V-Day that marked the end of WWII. And I’d wish to see a paragraph or two honoring Armenians’ contribution to the V-Day. About 500,000 Armenians, a significant number in proportion with the total population of the Armenian Soviet Republic estimated at about 1,400,000 in 1941, served in the Red Army, which played a key role in achieving victory over fascism. Some 175,000 of these were killed or became MIA. Armenians gave the Red Army five marshals and sixty generals, as well as one hundred and six Heroes of the Soviet Union.
