YEREVAN, AUGUST 30, ARMENPRESS. President of Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) Arayik Harutyunyan held an online meeting with the Mayor of Paris and other French regional officials who escorted a humanitarian convoy intended for Nagorno-Karabakh to the entrance of Lachin Corridor on August 30.
Harutyunyan told the French officials that Artsakh will never forget friends who provided support.
“Last year, in December, I visited France and held meetings with our friends, and back then I warned about everything that’s happening today. Unfortunately, my predictions were right. Azerbaijan expects to bring the Artsakhis, Artsakh down to their knees through humanitarian pressure, but they won’t succeed. We know how to respect, but we don’t know how to kneel. We will fight for as long as we can. Although we don’t have any expectations from the world, the major powers, international organizations, but we will continue. The dignity we inherited throughout millennia is far more important to us,” Harutyunyan said in his speech.
He thanked all participants of the French initiative of sending humanitarian aid, stressing that Artsakh will never forget it.
