These elections demonstrate the strength of the democratic process in your republic and reiterate the commitment of the people in Artsakh to the republic’s sovereignty. We will continue supporting your efforts to strengthen democracy, to ensure continued development of the region, and to advocate self-determination for Artsakh.
