“We call on the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs to take immediate steps to resume the negotiations process on the Karabakh conflict settlement in accordance with the mandate received from the OSCE. Lasting peace and stability in the region can only be achieved through respecting the fundamental rights and freedoms of the people of the Republic of Artsakh. For this very purpose the Artsakh Armenians began their liberation struggle in 1988 and stand ready to continue it with determination to reach the ultimate goal,” it added.
