The mother of Artsakh hero David Arushanyan, Lida Arushanyan,It writes:.
"In Artsakh, in some regions of Armenia, people went to graves on May 2 every year. The day was not accidental. During the Soviet era, when religious and church holidays were banned, people had put their dead since May 1. This is how traditions and religion maintained during the years of Soviet ungustice.
Today, the Armenians of Artsakh do not have the opportunity to visit the graves of their relatives ... We are deprived of that opportunity for the first time in 1000 years.
Go to Yerablur, go to city military pantheons. There are all our boys there, everyone has become a part of Artsakh and a part of Artsakh for Artsakh.
They are there as silent columns, on which our memory is based on our identity, our dignity.
Every visit to Yerablur and military pantheons should be not only a step towards SGI and respect, but also our homeless oath, never forgetting, never falling, never to fall or not.
As long as our boys' tombstones are standing, we have no right to kneel. We must continue to build the homeland for which they were deprived of their lives. And remember, Artsakh is not only an area. Artsakh are they? Artsakh We are. Artsakh is a sanctified memory that cannot be left in captivity. "
