Former Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan delivered a message of support to former Artsakh leaders unlawfully held in Azerbaijan.

Addressing delegates at the Republican Party of Armenia’s congress on Saturday, Sargsyan underscored his personal bond with them. “My thoughts are with you constantly, every day and every hour. I believe that one day we will meet,” he declared.

Sargsyan lauded the prisoners’ “dignified stance under inhumane conditions”, asserting that their composure behind bars surpasses the conduct of many living in freedom.
