STEPANAKERT, APRIL 5 ARTSAKHPRESS: During the tour Melikyan visited Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Washington, DC, New York, and New Jersey holding over 40 meetings with government officials, media representatives, and NGOs active in the fields of human and legal rights.

“It is important to deliver Artsakh’s message throughout major capital cities in the world”, Ruben Melikyan said. Melikyan’s visit to Washington, DC also included an interview with the renowned Foreign Policy Magazine, as well as discussions with reporters from The Washington Post. He also met with Congressmen Adam Schiff, Dave Trott, Jackie Speier, David Valadao and Jim McGovern.

Summarizing the visit results, ANCA-ER Community Outreach and Communications Director Artur Martirosyan stated: “We were happy to be able to connect Mr. Melikyan with key officials and groups during his visit to the U.S. Today, in the midst of rising autocratic and populist tendencies in the entire region, Artsakh stands as a beacon of democracy, human rights, and freedom. We are proud of the progress that the Artsakh Republic has made in upholding Western values and traditions since its independence a quarter century ago."
