The letter, in particular, says "Dear Ms. Harder, on behalf of the  National Assembly of the Artsakh Republic and on my own behalf, I  express my gratitude to you and the members of the group for their  willingness and determination to develop friendly relations with the  Artsakh people. This initiative is a new institutional level of our  cooperation, which  began two years ago with your visit to  Stepanakert and acquaintance with our country. I am convinced that  these groups will become an effective platform for expanding mutually  beneficial ties between Artsakh and Canada, especially in the field  of humanitarian cooperation, "the letter of thanks noted.

The President of the National Assembly also sent a letter of thanks  to the executive director of the Canadian office of Hay Dat Sevak  Belyan for his great contribution to the formation of the friendship  group.
