of the Artsakh-Uruguay relations and regional trends were discussed

to the Armenian people, adding that our people would never forget the
fact that Uruguay was the first state in the world, which officially
recognized the 1915 Armenian genocide.
According to Bako Sahakyan paths towards independence of Artsakh and
Uruguay had a lot of things in common and it draws the two states
closer to each other.

would have a positive effect on the maintenance of peace and stability
in the region as well as on international recognition of the Artsakh
