Fellow compatriots,

The Artsakh liberation movement marks its 25th anniversary today
February the 20th. Thanks to Artsakh’s liberation movement a part of
our homeland was freed, the independent statehood of our modern times
was established. The Artsakh movement gave back to the people pride,
determination to define its own fate, to fight and to win. Victory was
made possible thanks to unification, the gathering of the all-Armenian
potential and to true devotion.

Today, the Republic of Armenia, Artsakh and Armenians worldwide stand
in front of new challenges. We must understand that empowering the
Republic of Armenia, realizing Armenians’ aspirations and affirming
legally the Artsakh liberation movement’s achievements will be realized
with the preservation of both our spirit and of the effort that we
put jointly.

Compatriots, We congratulate everyone, on the occasion of Artsakh
movement’s 25th anniversary. We are convinced that the principles of
the Artsakh movement will serve as guidelines for our coming victories.
