President of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) Arayik Haroutyunyan posted the following on his Facebook page:

“Dear compatriots,

Today I received deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, member of the United Russia (Единая Россия) faction Vitaly Milonov.

We discussed the situation created in the region as a result of the Azerbaijani-Turkish-terrorist aggression and underscored the inadmissibility of actions undermining stability in the region and the involvement of foreign and terrorist forces.

During the personal talks, I expressed my gratitude to Mr. Milonov for the visit and interest and highlighted the major role that the Russian Federation has played in the settlement of the conflict and the establishment of long-lasting peace.”
