“I am confident that the democratically elected leaders of Artsakh — together with the people — have enough life experience, pride, courage, and, of course, prudency to solve their domestic issues on their own. We all — Armenia and our entire nation — stand with Artsakh, since the challenges still exist. Those challenges are great, even greater today than yesterday. Therefore, Artsakh’s stability is vital for all of us,” added Sarkissian.
