In these difficult conditions, what the Armenians of Artsakh lack most is not so much food, fuel or other material means, but practical attention. Of course, the main cross in this struggle is borne by the Armenians of Artsakh, assuming their share of national responsibility, but we expect attention primarily from the Armenian people and the Armenian state, as the owner and main beneficiary of Artsakh. During the blockade, there were many initiatives to support Artsakh, and we are grateful to the authors and participants of all of them,” he wrote.

Given the alarming situation we face, the people of Artsakh and the authorities expect concrete results in the shortest possible time to alleviate the security and humanitarian situation and lift the blockade. We are making every effort to manage the situation within our limited capabilities, implementing action plans based on various scenarios.
