"Everyone, wherever he is, should contribute to the development and strengthening of the Motherland within the limits of his knowledge, experience, abilities, abilities, and skills. This is the only way to strengthen Armenian statehood and preserve our national identity in the modern, changing world. We have no alternative," Araik Harutyunyan said.

At the same time, President Harutyunyan noted that the Armenian community of France has always stood by Artsakh and even today helps to recover from the severe wounds of the war and become a viable country, always remaining Armenian.

During the meeting, Araik Harutyunyan also answered the questions of the attendees. In response to the question related to security, the President noted that the Artsakh authorities have repeatedly stated that until the final settlement of the conflict, it is necessary to ensure the indefinite mission of Russian peacekeepers in Artsakh as a guarantor of the security of the people of Artsakh, working in parallel with this to ensure additional international guarantees.
