Thank you Dickran Khodanian Yes it was painful to read ,but i did finish reading .my love for Artsakh will stay with mealways.
Very sad. The losing Pashinyan leadership needs to go at all cost. Only solution now is to steadily rebuild, rearm and have real leadership that is prepared to retake our historical lands.
i am at a loss as to how and why we could not decimate and destroy every turk otto azeri anywhere near us shooting rockets or anything at us- we had the power and supplies- how and why we did not take 1000 of them dirt bags out for any one of our Armenians they hurt let along killed- we will get them but not soon enough- they are coward and live in loutrines- they all like turks occupy ourlands and rape and kill women and children- it is in their blood and we must destroy these rabid skunks
