There is no alternative to the independence of Nagorno-Karabakh, said
Bako Saakyan, president of the breakaway Nagorno-Karabakh Republic
(NKR).
"The existing differences must be resolved through direct dialogue.
Everyone should realize once and for all that independence has no
alternative and cannot be a subject of speculation," he said during
the festivities on the occasion of the 17th anniversary of the self-
proclaimed NKR in Stepanakert on Tuesday.
"Today we can proudly state that we have created a strong and capable
army, a progressing country which complies with international standards
and is one of the key factors ensuring stability in the region,"
Saakyan said.
"We must fulfill the dream of our fallen comrades – to gain
international recognition of the NKR and bequeath to the next
generations a strong and independent, peaceful and prosperous Homeland.
Rest assured, this is only a matter of time," the NKR leader said.
