On 14 February President of the Artsakh Republic Bako Sahakyan met
in the city of Pyatigorsk representatives of the Armenian communities
of the South of Russia, Central Information Department of the Office
of the NKR President reported.
During the meeting the Head of the State introduced the current
situation in Artsakh, socioeconomic development of the republic as
well as the current stage and prospects of the Azerbaijani-Karabagh
conflict settlement. Special attention was paid to issues related
to the development of the Motherland-Diaspora relations. Deepening
these ties, as Bako Sahakyan underlined, would have a positive effect
both on strengthening the independent Armenian statehood and on the
consolidation of the Diaspora and preserving its national identity.
Within this context the President noted the importance of the widening
cooperation with Armenian communities of the North Caucasus Federal
Region of the Russian Federation, particularly those of the Stavropol
Region, qualifying them as promising.
