President of the Artsakh Republic Bako Sahakyan sent a condolence
letter to President of the Republic of Abkhazia Sergey Baghapsh in
connection with the death of Vladislav Ardzinba.

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 the behalf of
the people and the authorities of the Nagorno Karabagh Republic I
express my condolences and support to You and to the fraternal people
of Abkhazia in connection with this irretrievable loss

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
