Issue of reburial of 66 compatriots in Yerablur raised - Samvel  Shahramanyan 

ArmInfo. Today, September 19, marks the second anniversary of Azerbaijan's aggression against Artsakh, and those who were the first to bear the brunt of the attack are commemorated at the Yerablur Memorial Complex. Artsakh Republic  President Samvel Shahramanyan told reporters this.

He stated that with their heroism, these young men enabled the  civilian population to leave Artsakh, to some extent, in peace,  thereby ensuring their safety. As a result of the aggression, the  people of Artsakh have lost their homeland, most of whom have settled  in Armenia, considering it their second homeland.  Speaking about the  falsifications of those events reflected in history textbooks,  Shahramanyan noted that these provisions are legally contested. All  necessary information will be presented during the legal proceedings  to substantiate these statements. History textbooks, as the head of  Artsakh noted, must present reality.

Shahramyan also emphasized that following the aggression two years  ago, the issue of reburial at Yerablur of 66 compatriots buried in  the memorial complex in Stepanakert and in the regions of Artsakh was  raised with the authorities of Armenia and Azerbaijan. Preliminary  consent was received, but this process has not yet been continued.  There is also no progress on the return of prisoners of war or  clarification of the fates of those missing in action.

The President of Artsakh also noted that he did not discuss the  statement made by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan at a meeting of the  Security Council of the Republic of Armenia that Armenia would not  participate in military operations in September 2023, despite the  existence of such a link, which, as a rule, was used to coordinate  the actions of the parties. It should be noted that Azerbaijan's  aggression against Artsakh on September 19, 2023, resulted in the  deaths of 244 people, 11 of whom were civilians.  Eleven people are  currently missing, and more than two dozen Armenians are in  Azerbaijani captivity and facing trial on trumped-up charges.
