Stepanakert and Australia's Ryde are twin cities
Stepanakert City Council of Elders adopted a decision to declare the Australian City of Ryde as a twin city, the Artsakh Foreign Ministry said on Facebook.
The council expresses conviction that establishment and expansion of friendship between the two cities will contribute to building and strengthening friendly relations between their peoples, as well as facilitating partnership between the Republic of Artsakh and Australia.
The decision of the Stepanakert Council of Elders followed a similar resolution unanimously adopted by the City Council of Ryde on July 23, on the eve of the working visit of the official delegation of Artsakh to Australia headed by Minister of Foreign Affairs Masis Mayilian.
