Artsakh President sends letter of condolence over death of Andrey Nuykin
On 19 September President of the Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh) Republic Bako Sahakyan sent a letter of condolence to the family of writer and publicist Andrey Nuykin. "It was with deep sorrow that I learnt about the death of Andrey Nuykin. As one of the founders and inspirers of the "Karabakh" Russian Intelligentsia Committee Mr. Nuykin was well-known and enjoyed a great respect in our country. Being a true patriot and democrat, he actively supported the aspiration of our people to live freely and independently in their own soil. He made a tangible contribution to the objective and fair coverage of the Karabakh cause, presenting to the world the facts of gross violations of human rights committed by Azerbaijan. The merits of Andrey Nuykin are deservedly appreciated by our people. He was awarded the high state award of the Artsakh Republic - the "Mkhitar Gosh" medal. On behalf of the people, authorities of the Artsakh Republic and myself personally I express my deep condolences to all the relatives and friends of Andrey Nuykin in connection with the great loss that befell all of us. His bright memory will always remain in our hearts," Bako Sahakyan said in part.
