STEPANAKERT. –  Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) Minister of State Artak Beglaryan on Saturday received Yeghishe Kirakosyan, the representative of Armenia before the European Court of Human Rights, the state minister's office reported.

Beglaryan lauded the work of Armenia’s representative in protecting the rights of Armenians at international instances, and briefed Kirakosyan the gross violations of the rights of the people of Artsakh—and due to the aggressive and Armenophobic policy of Azerbaijan. Also, state minister stressed that the priorities of Artsakh and the rights of its people need to be kept at the core of legal processes.

Both sides stressed the need to continue their contacts and take joint steps to protect the rights of the people of Artsakh.
