Top Karabakh officials pay tribute to memory of fallen soldiers

On the 6th anniversary of the April 2016 War, the Secretary of the Security Council of Nagorno-Karabakh and State Minister Artak Beglaryan, accompanied by a group of high-ranking officials, visited the Stepanakert Memorial to lay flowers at the memory of the fallen soldiers.

Six years ago this day, Azerbaijan launched a large-scale military offensive across the entire line of contact with Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh). Clashes that began in the wee hours of April 2 in 2016 lasted four days and were later dubbed the Four-Day War or the April War.

Throughout the military campaign, 64 soldiers, 13 volunteers and four civilians, including a child, were killed and more than 120 people were wounded. According to information from the U.S. Department of State, the Azerbaijanis lost more than 270 people overall.
