President of Armenia Armen Sarkissian also congratulated the Cypriot counterpart on the Independence Day.

In his letter the Armenian President highlighted the centuries-old friendship with Cyprus, the close relations which are based on historical-cultural ties and common spiritual values.

“You know that on September 27 early morning Azerbaijan launched a large-scale attack against the Republic of Artsakh, targeting also the civilian population. For decades Azerbaijan has been trying to solve the Nagorno Karabakh conflict through military force, by violating all international and moral norms, refusing to find the key for the peaceful settlement of the conflict around the negotiation table. Artsakh and Armenia have jointly resisted this adventure and destructing policy of the Azerbaijani leadership, which is backed by Turkey, and will continue to giving an adequate response to the adversary. I am confident that the brotherly Cyprus stands by us at this difficult moment for Armenia and Artsakh”, the Armenian President said, wishing his Cypriot counterpart good health and all the best.
