Some of them were brutally killed. Now we pay tribute to our martyrs. We also send a message from here to all Armenians and the Armenian state that we have not forgotten Khankandi and Garabagh. As a community we are strong, we are determined to return to our land together with the residents of Khankendi. We will realize it soon.”
