The most important problem faced by the Armenian people at present is the Nagorno Karabakh problem resolution in line with the principles of international law.

The Nagorno Karabakh people has the right to freely master its fate and to develop in its historic land. This right is inseparable, and it is the exercise of this right that makes many peoples of the world happy today. I am grateful for your support and efforts in this issue.”
