YEREVAN, DECEMBER 30, ARMENPRESS. A group of people from Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh) who are unable to return home due to the Azerbaijani blockade of Lachin Corridor will visit the Yerablur Pantheon military cemetery to honor fallen troops on New Year’s Eve.

“A group of people stranded in Yerevan as a result of the blockade of Artsakh are organizing a procession to Yerablur on New Year’s Eve where they will mark the beginning of the New Year,” the Artsakh State Minister’s Advisor Artak Beglaryan said in a statement. Beglaryan himself is among those unable to return to Artsakh.

“At 20:00, December 31, we will start walking from Yerevan City Hall to Yerablur by holding a silent candlelight procession. This is another occasion for unity, to stand by Artsakh and honor the memory of the homeland’s martyrs. Join us in silently marking New Year next to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country,” Beglaryan said.
