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

plenipotentiary of the Republic of Armenia in Argentine, Uruguay and
