Several hundred people, mostly women and children, gathered in the Artsakh capital of Stepanakert today to call attention to the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the country and to condemn Baku’s policy of intimidation of Armenians as evidenced by shutting the natural gas supply.

“Yes. We must fight for the right to live in our homeland by all possible means; the best way to make our voices heard right now is to hold a peaceful assembly. "Let us show the whole world that we exist and want peace in our homeland for our children,” was the message conveyed by rally organizers.
