On 1 December President of the Artsakh Republic Bako Sahakyan visited
the Argentinean parliament and met first deputy speaker of the Chamber
of Deputies Oskar Aguad, chairman of the standing commission on foreign
affairs of the chamber Alfredo Atanasof and a group of deputies.

A wide range of issues related to internal and foreign policy of
Artsakh, development of bilateral relations and the settlement of
the Azerbaijani-Karabagh conflict were discussed during the meeting.

According to President Sahakyan, Argentine is a friendly state for the
Armenian people and Artsakh is interested in developing and deepening
cooperation with it in different spheres. The Head of the State
expressed gratitude to Argentine for recognizing the 1915 Armenian
genocide, adding that it became a serious political and moral victory
for the civilized world.

Touching upon the Azerbaijani-Karabagh relations, Bako Sahakyan
noted that the main reason of impasse in the conflict settlement
is the destructive policy of Azerbaijan qualifying it a variation
of terrorism.

with the NKR President, underlining their awareness of the state
building process in Artsakh in particular rating high achievements
our republic has registered in building democratic and civil society.
