    "Today, we need unity and solidarity more than ever.

    Only in this way we can solve numerous problems that our two republics
    face. The history of our nation has proved more than once that we
    have no other way out.

    It is a call of the times and the basic guarantee of our victories",
    the NKR President Bako Sahakian stated in his welcoming speech at the
    meeting with participants of the All-Armenian pilgrimage to Artsakh,
    under the motto "Forward to God, Armenia", which started in the Holy
    See St.Echmiadzin on May 1.

    The Head of State noted with satisfaction that most pilgrims were
    young Armenians from different parts of the world.

    "This is the best evidence that unity is one of the main peculiarities
    of our nation. Throughout their history, the Armenians overcame all the
    difficulties with honor, when they were united. This unprecedented
    initiative comprises elements of this significant unity, which
    symbolizes a firm link among republic-society-church. I am also
    satisfied with the circumstance that our soldiers and the Defense
    Ministry actively participated in organizing this All-Armenian event",
    Bako Sahakian said.

    The All-Armenian pilgrimage participants (500 people) organized a
    meeting "One Nation, One State, One Faith" in Shoushi.

    The leader of the Artsakh Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic
    Church Archbishop Pargev Martirossyan blessed the pilgrims in
    St.Ghazanchetsots Church of Shoushi. The Archbishop mentioned that
    Shoushi is the place of pilgrimage for all Armenians.

    "We have liberated Shoushi under the motto "One Nation, One State,
    One Faith" and namely under this motto we have to continue our national
    struggle", Artsakh's spiritual leader said.

    The pilgrims visited the Stepanakert Memorial Complex and then returned
    to Yerevan.
