ArmInfo.Former state minister of Artsakh Artak Beglaryan proposes that on October 29, the 40th day of the Azerbaijani aggression against Nagorno-Karabakh, a 3-day mourning for the victims be declared in Armenia.
The politician wondered why the Armenian government has not yet declared mourning in memory of the victims of the last Artsakh war and the explosion of a fuel depot, or at least notified of such an intention?
According to him, a tragedy of such a scale, when about 500 people died, plus the complete deprivation of the homeland of the people of Artsakh, is more than a reason for statewide and national mourning.
"No matter how much actual mourning there is in our lives, such symbolic state events and their absence demonstrate the ideological attitude of the authorities to the events. I would consider the last opportunity to declare mourning October 29 - the 40th day of the start of the war, in my opinion, mourning should be "At least three days. For comparison, I note that in August 2022, a two-day mourning was declared for the victims of the explosion in the Surmalu shopping center, the scale of the tragedy was incomparably smaller," Beglaryan noted.
The number of deaths during the latest Azerbaijani aggression against Artsakh is still unknown. According to the latest data, over 200 citizens of the NKR died, including civilians (including brutally murdered children). In addition, an explosion at a fuel depot near Stepanakert on September 25 killed 170 citizens, and dozens more are considered missing to this day.
