He had a substantial contribution to protecting Artsakh's interests, providing accurate information about our republic in various international platforms.

Arman Kirakossian's memory will always remain bright in our hearts.

On behalf of the people, authorities of Artsakh and personally myself I extend my condolences and support to all the relatives and friends of the deceased and wish them endurance and tenacity," the statement said.
