Armenia’s President Armen Sarkissian on Wednesday sent a congratulatory message to the President of the Czech Republic, Milos Zeman, on the occasion of the country’s national holiday: Independent Czechoslovak State Day, informed the official website of the Armenian President.

Stressing the importance of developing the mutually beneficial relations with the Czech Republic and hailing the shared trust between the two countries, President Sarkissian expressed readiness to continue the constructive dialogue.

The President of Armenia spoke also of the large-scale aggression unleashed by Azerbaijan against the Republic of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh (NK)) one month ago and Turkey’s engagement in it. “We highly value the resolution adopted in October by the Parliament of the Czech Republic which condemns the involvement of third parties to the NK conflict and transport of individual fighters from other places to the Nagorno Karabakh conflict zone.

Today, at this difficult time for Armenia and Artsakh, when our people are fighting for life, freedom, and homeland, I am confident that the friendly Czechia is by our side,” the congratulatory message of the President of Armenia reads in particular.
