No efforts must be spared for free, secure Armenian Artsakh - Ruben  Vardanyan 

ArmInfo.The former state minister of Artsakh Ruben Vardanyan has presented the areas of importance for Artsakh's future he plans to continue his work in and of the projects he and his Foundation We Are Our Mountains are implementing. 

Mr Vardanyan emphasizes his goal remains sparing no effort for a  free, secure Armenian Artsakh living in dignity. This year marks the  35th anniversary of the Karabakh movement, but the struggle  continues. 

"For many struggle is war and sacrifices. I view struggle as  accurately assessing your string and weak points, knowing the ways of  neutralizing the threats of your weak points, strengthening your  strong points to your advantage. Struggling for me is asking myself  every day what I have to do in this direction," Mr Vardanyan said.  

He singles out eight areas projects will be implemented in.  strengthening the international personality; security and defense,  including an efficient civil defense system; creating a viable  economy; opposing hybrid warfare; high-quality and competitive  education. 

"Carrying out our tasks requires consistent work and combined  efforts. The government alone is incapable of doing this work. All  the resources - individual and public - with the Armenian world's  potential involved. As a society we cannot cope with the challenges  facing us unless we unite. We must do our best to trust each other,"  Mr Vardanyan said. The We Are Our Mountains territorial agency, which  was established last November, has implemented $4mln worth projects  in two principal areas: strategic initiatives and social development. 

Mr Vardanyan highlights the importance of public confidence, pointing  out that he has adopted the principle of transparency as the  fundament for his activities as "transparency is the basis for  justice." "Staying in Artsakh I will be consistent to ensure that  these principles are followed," he said. 

Mr Vardanyan points out a need for observing the "redlines" involving  Artsakh, which is of high importance for Artsakh's security and  freedom. "We will be consistent in ensuring that the redlines never  be crossed, as it can never be allowed," Mr Vardanyan said.
