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.
