Dear Mr. President,
It is with great pleasure that we received the news of your election as
President of the Republic of Nagorno Karabakh by our beloved nation in

brave people of Artsakh and their commitment to govern the country on the
basis of democratic principles.
We congratulate you and welcome the trust the people have bestowed upon you,
which doubtless is the result of your patriotic positions and work. We are
confidant that with renewed faith and determination you will continue your
dedicated service for achieving progress and development in Artsakh.
We want to reassure you on this occasion that the Catholicosate of Cilicia

children in Artsakh. As you already know, our support is expressed by the
construction of the "New Cilicia" village in Artsakh among other projects.
We wish you full success in your mission.
With Pontifical blessings and warm love,
Aram I
