people on NKR Independence Day.
According to NKR head press service, the message, in particular reads:
"On behalf of Artsakh authorities and on my own behalf, I cordially
congratulate all of us on September 2 - the Day of the Republic of
Artsakh! Twenty-six years ago, our people adopted a historic decision
to independently manage their own destiny, to build a free,
independent, democratic, legal and social state. In these years,
together with our sisters and brothers from Mother Armenia and the
Diaspora, we were able to implement many strategic programs that bring
us closer to achieving national goals and make our country stronger
and stronger.
I am sure that the civilized and progressive world community will
sooner or later recognize this fair and lawful decision of the people
of Artsakh, will certainly accept the existing realities that testify
to our adherence to universal values and international norms and
principles. I am sure, since our people have for many years proved by
their hard work and selfless service of their brave sons that they are
able to build, develop and defend their own home and their independent
statehood on their own. "
To note, on January 6, 1992, first convocation of NKR Parliament - NKR
Supreme Council - adopted the Declaration on the State Independence of
the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic.
