Taking a neutral stance they refused to participate in the armed clashes of conflicting sides and heroically confronted the imminent threats jeopardizing the Armenian districts, thus demonstrating courage and endurance. Many Armenians sacrificed their lives for preservation of national structures and institutions”. Paying tribute to all Armenian martyrs of the Civil War, Minister in his address expresses a conviction, that thanks to the tripartite union of Armenia, Artsakh and Diaspora it will be possible to solve all problems and confront all existing challenges.
