A Pan-Armenian forum on the Azerbaijani-Karabagh conflict settlement
and Armenian-Turkish relations, organized by the Armenian Revolutionary
Federation Dashnaktsutiun, took place in Stepanakert under the
patronage of NKR President Bako Sahakian.

In his speech, the NKR President noted, in particular, that `during the
Armenian people’s modern history, Artsakh found itself in the front
line of the national struggle, bringing fresh breath into the revival
of the national self-consciousness and unity of all Armenians’.

`About twenty years have passed since the time when putting aside
ideological and party disagreements, personal sympathies and
preferences, Armenians all over the world stood side by side with the
Artsakh people struggling for the restoration of justice. Unity became
our first victory in that struggle’, stated Bako Sahakian.

The head of state noted that it was impossible to implement any
resolution without the NKR people’s consent.

Political and public figures from various countries participated in the
forum. They introduced their stances on the issues topical for all
Armenians.
