    On 1 December President of the Artsakh Republic Bako Sahakyan
    visited the parliament of the Oriental Republic of Uruguay and met
    speaker of the House of Representatives Luis Lacalle, chair of its
    standing commission on foreign affairs Maria Elena Laurnaga, and a
    group of the House of Representatives and Senate members.

    Issues related to life in the NKR, its foreign policy, development of
    the Artsakh-Uruguay relations and regional trends were discussed
    during the meeting.

    President Sahakyan thanked Uruguay for continuous assistance shown 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.

    Touching upon the Azerbaijani-Karabagh conflict settlement process the
    President underlined that official Stepanakert is a proponent of
    peaceful settlement, which does not mean that Artsakh is unable to
    defend itself or there could be a possibility of return to the past.

    The both sides expressed their interest in developing bilateral
    relations. President Sahakyan noted that cementing ties with Uruguay
    would have a positive effect on the maintenance of peace and stability
    in the region as well as on international recognition of the Artsakh
    Republic.

    After the meeting the Head of the State accompanied by the Uruguayan
    parliamentarians visited the sepulcher of Uruguay national hero Jose
    Gervasio Artigas.

    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
    Chile Vladimir Karmirshalyan, head of the central information
    department of the office of the Artsakh Republic President David
    Babayan partook at the meeting.
