Those considering page of Armenian Artsakh closed openly promote  enemy interests - Serzh Sargsyan 

ArmInfo. Below is a statement by the Third President of the Republic of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan on the occasion of Independence Day of the Republic of Artsakh

On September 2, 1991 Artsakh declared its independence in accordance  with all legal and international norms that were applicable at the  time. The Armenians of Artsakh, who thirty-two years later, in  September 2023 were subjected to ethnic cleansing by Azerbaijan and  driven out from their ancestral home through the most repulsive  methods, have every right to return in dignity; at this moment, there  exist all necessary international mechanisms for the implementation  of their inalienable rights.  

Those, who believe that the page of the Armenian Artsakh is closed  and disregard the rights and opportunities for the return of the  Armenians of Artsakh, openly promote interests of the enemy who  maintains that viewpoint; they discredit the memory of those who fell  for Artsakh, also a dedicated mission of the majority of our people  who went through the unimaginable sufferings to live in freedom and  independence.  

The issue of Artsakh must return to the international agenda. If all  necessary efforts are made, if all possible means are employed  persistently, we will be able to succeed. It is obvious that to  achieve that, it is essential first of all to work relentlessly at  the state level guided by the national interest, and it is important  to have the authorities which manifest such perspective. Regretably,  the current authorities move down the road which leads the issue of  Artsakh to oblivion; they are abjuring.  

The civilized world, which advocates basic human rights and freedoms  cannot and should not remain indifferent to the fate of a large part  of the Armenian people who have been forcibly expelled and deprived  of their ancestral home where they lived for millennia.
