Dear people of Artsakh,

I warmly congratulate you on the Independence Day of the Republic of Artsakh!

As a result of the 44-day war, Artsakh has suffered severe losses and now faces great uncertainties. Today, the only guarantee for preserving Artsakh’s statehood is your unwavering determination to live on your native land and to build and improve it.

I am confident that you fully recognize the seriousness of the current situation. Together, we must do everything possible to defend the Republic of Artsakh.
