Военный парад в Степанакерте. Парад в честь Дня Победы в Нагорном Карабахе был преднозначен для успокоения местного населения.

Армянские вооруженные силы продемонстрировали свои силы на военном параде в Степанакерте, состоявшемся 9 мая в честь Дня Победы. В мероприятии приняли участие президент Армении, Сержа Саргсян, экс-президент Роберт Кочарян, Католикос Армении, Гарегин II, и президент самопровозглашенной Нагорно-Карабахской Республики, Бако Саакян. В параде были задействованы артиллерия и пехота, танки, ракеты и вертолеты. Армянские СМИ также сообщили, что на параде были представлены некоторые новые вооружения, произведенные в Армении, в том числе беспилотные летательные аппараты.

Необычно большой парад был демонстрацией силы, в первую очередь, призванный успокоить армянское население Карабаха в готовности вооруженных сил в период роста напряженности на линии фронта.

Ранее появились сообщения о том, что празднование Дня Победы в некоторых армянских селах в Тавушской области, вблизи линии соприкосновения, разделяющей армянские и азербайджанские силы, было отменено по соображениям безопасности.
