Can course of history be reversed? - ex-official

ArmInfo. The main lesson that  Armenia should have learned from the 44-day war in Artsakh is the  realization of the need to get rid of the symbols of defeat, which  includes not only revising outdated ideals and symbols, but also a  decisive break with the force that is leading us to failure. Former  head of the State Revenue Committee (SRC) of Armenia David Ananyan  wrote about this on a social network.

Today we ask ourselves again. When will the time come for reforms  that will take into account the mistakes of the past and allow us to  implement new, more advanced ideas? Will we be able to turn the wheel  of history and finally achieve those times?>, - David Ananyan summed  up.

Exactly 4 years ago, on September 27, 2020, at 07:10 in the morning,  Azerbaijan, with the direct participation of Turkey and the  involvement of foreign terrorist fighters, unleashed a large-scale  war against Artsakh. During the war, which lasted 44 days, the  Azerbaijani Armed Forces subjected peaceful settlements of Artsakh to  artillery and missile strikes, including using prohibited weapons.  Military operations took place along the entire line of contact  between Artsakh and Azerbaijan, as well as in some sections of the  line of contact between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

On the first day of the war unleashed by the Turkish-Azerbaijani  forces, martial law and general mobilization were declared in Armenia  and Artsakh.

On November 9, 2020, the heads of Armenia, Russia and Azerbaijan  signed a trilateral statement, according to which most of the  territory of the Republic of Artsakh came under the control of  Azerbaijan:  Akna and Karvachar districts, Lachin district (except  for the Lachin corridor), part of the Hadrut district, the city of  Shushi, some villages of the Askeran and Martakert districts. About  two thousand Russian peacekeepers and 470 units of military equipment  were deployed in the remaining part of the Republic of Artsakh, as  well as observation posts on the contact line between Artsakh and  Azerbaijan and along the Lachin corridor connecting Armenia with  Artsakh. The catastrophic war, according to official data, claimed  the lives of at least 4,000 Armenian soldiers and civilians. Hundreds  of people went missing and were taken prisoner.
