Shushi is Completely Out of Our Control, The Enemy is at the Gates of Stepanakert. Vahram Poghosyan

The President's statement today has sparked certain pessimistic sentiments within the public sphere. This is understandable, as war is characterized by severe combat operations where neither success nor failure is guaranteed. Unfortunately, we must admit that the chain of failures still accompanies us, and the city of Shushi is completely out of our control. All kinds of propaganda theses aiming to bring hope or excitement only serve to disconnect us from the sense of reality.

We must tighten our belts once more, as the enemy is on the outskirts of Stepanakert, and the existence of the capital is now threatened. If we want Shushi to be ours again and for Artsakh to be preserved, today we must exert all our efforts to organize reliable defense in Stepanakert and at other fronts. This is the real and reliable guarantee of success. False calls for victory and Facebook speculations will lead to the loss of everything piece by piece. History will not forgive us for that.

We will fight until the end. This was written by Vahram Poghosyan, the press secretary of the Artsakh Republic President, on his Facebook page.
