/PanARMENIAN.Net/ On February 13, President of the Artsakh Republic
(NKR) Bako Sahakyan traveled to Pyatigorsk, the administrative center
of the North Caucasus Federal Region of Russia, where he met with the
leaders of the Armenian community and of the Stavropol region and local
entrepreneurs to discuss ways to strengthen ties between the Motherland
and Diaspora. He also attended a festive ceremony at St. Sargis Church.
The next day Mr. Sahakyan met with representatives of the Armenian
community of the South of Russia. He briefed on the current situation
in Artsakh, socioeconomic development of the republic as well as the
current stage and prospects of the Azerbaijani-Karabakh conflict
settlement. Special attention was paid to issues related to the
development of the Motherland-Diaspora relations. Deepening these
ties, as the NKR President underlined, would have a positive effect
both on strengthening the independent Armenian statehood and on the
consolidation of Diaspora and preserving its national identity.
Mr. Sahakyan also answered numerous questions asked by the meeting
participants, reported the Central Information Department of the
Office of the NKR President.
