An article by Armenian Ambassador to Argentina Vahagn Melikyan has been issued this week in the most read newspaper of Argentina – “La Nación”.

This way Vahagn Melikyan responds to the article written by Azerbaijani Ambassador to Argentina Mammad Ahmadzada, where
the latter presents the Azerbaijani positions and views on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict and its regulation, Armenpress reports.

The article by the Armenian Ambassador refers to the national liberation movement of 1988, the legal basics of Artsakh’s
independence declaration, the Sumgayit pogroms that followed the movement and the threats the Armenian population confronted in the entire territory of Azerbaijan during that period.

“More than the 20 years of independence have enabled to form and develop democracy, state bodies, to counterbalance the government branches, to conduct free, fair and democratic elections. Young people of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic do not imagine and accept any other way of living but in an independent state, free from Baku’s oppressive and discriminatory policy,” the article reads.
