His Holiness Karekin II, Supreme Patriarch and Catholicos of All Armenians,
sent a letter of congratulations from the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin to
Bako Sahakian, the newly elected president of the Republic of Nagorno
Karabagh.
In his letter, the Catholicos states, `We extend to you our Pontifical
blessings and congratulations on your election as president of Republic of
Nagorno Karabagh, and offer thanks to God, that our people in Artsakh are
creating their free lives, building their native land with the faith of
living in security, goodness and happiness.
`You have contributed your devoted efforts to the just cause of achieving
the hopes and aspirations of the Armenians of Artsakh and throughout the
world, having participated with vigilance in the liberation of Artsakh and
the establishment of statehood.
`We pray to our Benevolent Lord, asking that He protect Artsakh under His
graces with eternal peace, making your efforts and those of our people
fruitful, so that all the wounds on our native soil be healed, our churches
and holy shrines rise once again, and Artsakh be filled with vibrancy and
joy. As President-Elect, we wish you a long and healthy life, vigor and
energy in your high office, and success to your plans and policies.’
