    On 2 December President of the Artsakh Republic Bako Sahakyan visited
    Argentinean Council on Foreign Relations (CARI) located in capital
    Buenos Aires and delivered there a lecture.
    The Head of the State touched upon the Artsakh-Argentina relations,
    state building in the NKR, domestic and foreign policy of our country,
    the Azerbaijani-Karabagh conflict settlement and regional trends.
    President Sahakyan noted that Latin America direction occupies special
    place in the NKR's foreign policy agenda, which is stipulated both by
    large Armenian community living there and by the growing importance of
    the region in international geopolitics.
    Within this context Bako Sahakyan underlined peculiar role of
    developing relations with Argentine, which Artsakh considers as a
    friendly and fraternal state. President Sahakyan expressed gratitude
    to the Argentinean Republic for its attitude towards our compatriots
    and nation. According to Bako Sahakyan the state, which allowed our
    compatriots narrowly escaping from the 1915 Genocide and different
    persecutions find their new homeland here at the same time not
    forgetting the historical one deserves the highest appreciations.
    Speaking of the history of the Artsakh issue the Head of the State
    noted that it emerged in when a state named Azerbaijan, which that
    never existed in history before, was formed in Transcaucasus with the
    immediate involvement of the Ottoman Turkey. Since the very first
    moment of its formation this new state put territorial claims before
    all the neighboring countries aiming to create a land border with the
    Ottoman Turkey and form a Pan-Turkish state.
    Touching upon the Azerbaijani-Karabagh conflict settlement Bako
    Sahakyan underlined that the official Stepanakert stands exclusively
    for peaceful solution of all the questions with Azerbaijan through
    immediate dialogue. The President stressed that Artsakh's independence
    and security are excusive values for our people and cannot be subject
    to any speculations. The President considered the destructive stance
    of Azerbaijan, its extremist and belligerent anti-Armenian policy,
    carried out on the highest state level, as the pivotal obstacle in the
    negotiation process.
    After the speech Bako Sahakyan answered questions put by the attendees.
    Primate of the Artsakh Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church
    Archbishop Pargev Martirosyan, ambassador extraordinary and
    plenipotentiary of the Republic of Armenia in Argentine, Uruguay and
