Karabakh War veteran, Commander of Shushi Special Battalion, one of the leaders of New Armenia public salvation front, Zhirayr Seflyan, has issues a statement wherein he assumed authority for restoring by force Karabakh's territorial integrity that, as he claims, was violated during the April aggression of Azerbaijan.
In his statement, Sefilyan said he is ready to lead the military operation to restore Artsakh's independence with the help of the volunteers of his Shushi Special Battalion. "I urge all the citizens of Armenia and the Armenians in Diaspora, as well as the officers and soldiers of the Armenian army to join our volunteers and participate in the military operation to restore the territorial integrity of Nagorno Karabakh," Sefilyan says.
It is noteworthy that in his latest interview President Serzh Sargsyan admitted that during the April aggression by Azerbaijan, the Armenian side lost 800ha of territories having no tactical or strategic importance
