The incredible transition Attsakh has undertaken into a representative form of government is a testament to your commitment to advance democratic governance and to the will of your people. <\/p>\n<p>We believe that Artsakh has earned the right to participate in the ongoing negotiations at the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) Minsk Group by continually acting as an exemplar of democracy, peace, and freedom in the region. In order to ensure a durable and democratic resolution to the regional issues your country currently faces, we believe that Artsakh must be allowed to directly participate in negotiations regarding its future status and security. Our hope is that your country will once again be included in these talks at some point in the near future. <\/p>\n<p>Again, we wish the people of A1tsakh our sincerest congratulations and offer our full support for your country. Please know that we remain committed to the development of Artsakh&#8217;s economy and its democracy, and that we will continue our call for the formal recognition of its independence.
