From the very beginning of the national-liberation movement in Karabakh Elena Bonner had been actively protecting our nation's right to self-determination. She visited our country and together with us fought for restoration of historical justice. Fom the highest platforms she demanded to stop human rights violation pursued by Azerbaijan in Nagorno Karabakh.
Accept my deep and sincere condolences. In this difficult hour the people and authorities of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic share with you the whole pain and sorrow of this irretrievable loss. We shall always keep in mind the bright memory of Elena Bonner," Bako Sahakyan said in the letter.
