I care about Artsakh because it is my ancestral home. Artsakh has unified Armenians around the world since the 1990s and before, and it will continue to unify all Armenians around the world regardless of where they are right now for many years and decades to come. Artsakh is Armenia and will remain Armenian. Artsakh is where I found my spiritual home. Long live Artsakh!
