This written declaration commits only the members who have signed it

20 years ago, through the adoption of legal decisions on independence
based on Soviet and International Laws, new states were created in our
region. The right to self-determination and decolonization from the
Soviet Union was exercised not only byArmenia,AzerbaijanandGeorgia,
but by Mountainous Karabagh as well.

These four political entities declared independence approximately at
the same time. Armenia,AzerbaijanandGeorgiahave been members of the
Council of Europe for 10 years now, while Artsakh is not a member of
this organisation. Despite these facts and the difficult situation it
finds itself in, Artsakh has nonetheless adopted and is consistently
following a political path of state-building in conformity with the
spirit, the mission and the values of the Council of Europe.

Highly appreciating the results and the dynamics of democracy-building
adopted as a development model by Artsakh and realising the importance
of the participation of the official delegates of Artsakh to the
negotiations taking place within the context of the OSCE Minsk Group,

we congratulate theRepublicofMountainous Karabaghon its 20th
anniversary and call for close co-operation with its duly-elected
authorities.
