President of Artsakh Araik Harutyunyan said that the republic will continue to fight and will never be an instrument of pressure on Russia. In his statement, the president also noted:

The people of Artsakh are supporters and defenders of peace and stability in the region, and good neighborly relations between the peoples.

The people of Artsakh are open to discussing any issues, problems, and free dialogue, and they count on constructive relations based on mutual respect for rights.

We consider unacceptable the use of coercion, demonstration, and threat of force and call for rescinding the idea of evicting Armenians from Artsakh.

The Artsakh people have decided to resist the encroachment on their rights and endure physical hardships with dignity, thus neutralizing all attempts to impose concessions on the Artsakh Motherland.

The President thanked Armenia and our compatriots in the Diaspora who inform the international community about Baku’s crimes and support Artsakh.

He thanked the Russian Federation peacekeepers, noting that for already several days the peacekeepers have been standing firmly by the people of Artsakh, not yielding to provocations, demonstrative insults and disdainful attitude.
