The Armenian Report attended the Stepanakert Military Pantheon in Artsakh today.
On September 2, Artsakh Republic Day, loved ones visited the gravesites of their sons, husbands, and fathers.
The mother of 21-year-old war hero, Davit Israelyan, spoke to The Armenian Report — telling us her son rushed off to war without even a hug.
“I got on my knees and begged him to not leave. And he told me ‘Dear mother, if every mother begged her son not to leave and the Turk comes and kills us. If we all run away, how will be keep our Homeland?’” remembers the mourning mother her last conversation with her beloved son Davit.
She then questions who is keeping our Homeland now that our boys are gone?
