An Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) delegation, led by President Arayik Harutyunyan, on Friday met in Yerevan with President Vahagn Khachaturyan of Armenia.

In his remarks, President Harutyunyan noted that the efforts by Armenia’s authorities to establish long-term peace and stability in the country and the region are appreciated in Artsakh, stressing, however, that these efforts should not contradict the interests of an integral part of the Armenian people: the Artsakh Armenians.
