On 19-20, 1992 the Karabakh subdivisions started operation of destroying the military base and in a short period of time they pushed the enemy out of their position.
The Krkzhan district governor and freedom fighter Vladimir Musayelian informed that the number of Azerbaijani fighters exceeded the Armenian fighters.
“We fought for protection of our hearth. We did not have anywhere else to go, and the Azerbaijanis at any price wanted to take possession of our homeland. At that time they had managed to burn and loot 18 houses,” said Musayelian, emphasizing that the aim of protecting own homes gave them strength and courage to fight.
During the Artsakh Liberation War the Krkzhan district of capital Stepankert suffered 20 losses.
On the occasion of the 24th anniversary of Krkzhan liberation, a memorial dedicated to the victims of the Artsakh Liberation War has been erected in the Krkjan district.
