Today, we are happy with the news about the extensive restoration and construction works going on in our native Karabakh. New roads are built, buildings are built, the breath of its owner touches the land, and nature revives after seeing this.
But buildings are being demolished in Khankendi. Everyone knows why. Let's first take a brief look at the "history" of the demolished buildings.
The opening of the first building called "Artsakh Parliament" by Haylar took place on September 2, 2007 - the 16th anniversary of the announcement of the junta regime in Khankendi. The Speaker of the Armenian Parliament, Tigran Torosyan, who took part in the "ceremonial ceremony", called that building another "evidence and magnificent event" that shows the "solid standing" of the "Nagorno-Karabakh Republic".
The second building built "in memory of the heroes of the Republic of Artsakh". Its construction was supported by the "Ministry of Defense" of the separatist regime, as well as by the charity fund of Levon Ayrapetyan, one of the rich representatives of the Armenian diaspora, who was arrested in Moscow for financial fraud in 2014 and committed his life in prison, "VALLEX-group", which invested heavily in the occupied territories of Karabakh. , was sponsored by Armenian diasporas in different cities of Russia. The opening ceremony of the "Heroes Building" was held on May 9, 2013 with the participation of the then president of Armenia, Serzh Sargsyan, and the head of the so-called regime, Bako Saakyan. The separatist junta regime also "celebrated" the occupation of Shusha in the "holiday event" they organized in the central square of Khankendi that day.
Let's remember that the master plan of Khankendi city was approved by the head of Azerbaijan, great leader Heydar Aliyev during the USSR. During the Soviet period, extensive construction works were carried out in the city. But after the occupation, the whole landscape of the city was disturbed, awkward buildings were built that did not match the master plan. After occupying our lands at the expense of their supporters abroad, the infamous neighbors have been engaged in altering the architectural face of Khankendi. Thus, the original eastern architecture of the city was completely destroyed. Quite rightly, it was decided to demolish all the strange buildings, which are considered to be the product of high intelligence, contrary to the national architectural style of Khankendi. It could not be otherwise. Why should our citizens who will live in their hometowns see "separatist monuments" that are considered "relics of occupation" and get angry every day?
Consider the names of the two demolished buildings: the "Veterans Building" built in honor of the "warriors who liberated Artsakh" and the "Artsakh Parliament" building. The building called "Parliament" was a terrorist's nest where the scenarios of invasion, war crimes and genocide against Azerbaijan were written and vile decisions were made. Neither we nor humanity need those buildings, which are symbols of terror, separatism, hypocrisy and hatred. During the occupation, the foundation of the "dqr" parliament building was laid in Shusha. During the Patriotic War, that building was targeted by our artillery. Readers probably remember well the speech of President, Commander-in-Chief Ilham Aliyev in front of that building.
Now, some countries are reacting to what happened in Khankendi with the justice of history, they are trying to dress the demolition of the buildings built as a "symbol" and "relic" of the junta regime in an official Yerevan political dress. Let them raise their voices and shout their hearts out. We don't have time to listen to them. Because we are busy reviving Karabakh and returning it to its pre-occupation appearance.
If the demolished buildings in Khankendi were movable property, the separatists would probably carry them with them like toilets when moving from Karabakh. They would take them and bury them in the foreign countries they are now visiting. After all, what difference does it make to them where those "high architectural monuments" are: in California, Marseille, Beirut, or Armavir?
We are doing our job and the souls of our thousands of martyrs who contributed their blood to the Motherland land rejoice, our veterans are proud, and our friends who stood shoulder to shoulder with us in the war of liberation and did not spare their moral support are happy together with our people.
Yes, we are a nation of builders. But we are also determined to erase everything that reminds Azerbaijani citizens of the occupation!
