"The liberated territories are not subject to surrender"
An NKR serviceman does not trust the protection of his homeland and family to anyone.
"Look! You can see my house from here. We have already experienced the tides of war. We sleep under Azerbaijan's bombarding every day. We don't need the help of peaceful forces," says Karen Abrahamian, Lieutenant-Colonel of the NKR Defense Army.
Karen Abrahamian says Azerbaijan's military announcements pursue political goals but "if Azerbaijan were sure to win the country would have taken military actions long ago."
The fifteen years of the ceasefire regime proved that Karabakhi lands belong to Karabakhi people. "I can only trust the protection of my homeland and family to my friends and me. We need no one's support in this sense."
NKR Army doesn't take the allegations on territorial surrender seriously.
"The lands liberated at the price of blood cannot be ceded," says the Lieutenant-Colonel.
NKR serviceman David Eghiazarian says Azerbaijan's announcements raise the fighting spirit of Karabakhi soldiers.
"It is a great honour for me to serve my homeland," he said.
