The President of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic Arkady Ghukasyan
declared in Stepanakert today that the "referendum held December 10
evidences the irreversible process of building an independent and
sovereign NKR."

Arkady Ghukasyan said that "the adoption of the Constitution was not
an end in itself. It became the diadem achieved during the days of
independence," Mediamax reports.

"The basic law will determine the directions of the county’s future
development," said NKR President, noting that "having a democratic and
balanced Constitution, people have more chances for the recognition
of independence."

Arkady Ghukasyan expressed the opinion that the NKR Constitution is
one of the most democratic ones in post-Soviet space. He assured that
"if Azerbaijan had a similar Constitution it would be easier for
Nagorno Karabakh to resolve the problems with it."

In his words, the Azerbaijani Constitution was adopted for the purpose
of " documental extermination of Nagorno Karabakh, and the negative
reaction of official Baku on the Constitutional referendum in Karabakh
has no basis to be accepted by the international community."
