Commanders of volunteer platoons on the Line of Contact with the Azerbaijani forces call on fresh forces to join them on the frontline in Nagorno Karabakh and not wait for a shift.
The commanders say there is relative and alarming peace on the borders now. "The enemy that was running away from the Armenian soldiers yet 25 years ago has now cunningly created a dangerous uncertainty on the borders of Armenia and Artsakh. We, the volunteers, are on the front line and we are not going to leave our posts after the shift. We will be celebrating the day of the liberation of Shushi and Berlin, as well as the establishment of the NKR Defense Army. However, considering the April provocations of the enemy, we realize the need for the support by fresh forces," the authors of the statement say.
On 9 May, Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh celebrates triple holiday: the GPW Victory Day, the Day of the NKR Defense Army and the Liberation of Shoushi Artsakh Republic President.
Every year on this day, the Azerbaijani forces intensify shelling at the positions of NKR and Armenia. Experts say that after the four-day war, the Azerbaijani side will most probably resort to intensive provocations on the borders.
