Three-day mourning will be declared in Armenia from December 19, Armenia’s Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said live on Facebook.
He recalled that December 19 marks the 40th day of the end of hostilities in Nagorno Karabakh. Pashinyan added that the search and identification of bodies is still underway.
The unofficial figures put the number of dead and missing soldiers in Armenia at 3.300 people, according to Armenian media.
The Karabakh war ended on the night of November 9-10, 2020 with the victory of Azerbaijan. During the hostilities from September 27 to November 9, the Azerbaijani army liberated the Fizuli, Jebrail, Zangilan and Gubadli districts, parts of the Terter, Khojavend, Khojaly and Shusha districts, including the heart of Azerbaijani culture - the city of Shusha from the occupation forces of the Armenian Armed Forces. From November 10 to 30, the Armenian troops were withdrawn from the Aghdam, Kalbajar and Lachin regions. The territorial integrity of Azerbaijan was restored on December 1.
