Artsakh Must Always Belong to Its People: Message from Aram I

The entire Diaspora stands with you. We know well that Artsakh is at a fateful moment in its modern history, said Catholicos Aram I of Cilicia in a video message during the mass rally held in Stepanakert and Yerevan.

“We must all strengthen our faith and our will. Our vision for the future of Artsakh must always remain bright. In the past, Artsakh has been ours, today Artsakh is ours. And believe me, Artsakh must always belong to its people,” Aram I stated.

The Catholicos emphasized, “Artsakh has always been autonomous; our people in Artsakh are not newcomers, our people in Artsakh are the very essence of our Artsakh.”

Due to technical issues in Artsakh, the message was left unfinished.
