On May 9, Armenians celebrate a triple holiday: the Victory Day, the NKR Defense Army Day and Liberation of Shushi. According to the Nagorno Karabakh Republic Defense Minister, Artsakh people are the ones to give the fairest assessment of the achievements and shortcomings of defense army.

“Armenian army has always been one of the most important factors for provision of peace and safety in the region,” the military official stressed.
