President of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic Bako Sahakyan sent a
condolence letter to President of the Republic of Abkhazia Sergey
Baghapsh over the death of former President Vladislav Ardzinba, the
central information department of NKR president’s office reported.
The letter runs as follows:
"Abkhazia and its people suffered a great loss. The first President of
the Republic of Abkhazia Vladislav Ardzinba has departed this life.
Vladislav Ardzinba stood at the origins of the national-liberation
movement of Abkhazia, led the republic at a most crucial period of its
history. Under his governance Abkhazia overcame all the hardships with
flying colors, embarked firmly on the path of further strengthening
its statehood.
Vladislav Ardzinba is widely known far beyond Abkhazia. He enjoys deep
respect and warm feeling in Artsakh.
On behalf of the people and the authorities of the Nagorno-Karabakh
Republic I express my condolence and support to You and to the
fraternal people of Abkhazia over this irretrievable loss."
