YEREVAN, September 2. /ARKA/. Alhough the Nagorno Karabakh has not
yet been recognized by the international community, our state has
proved to the world that NKR not only had formed as a state de-facto,
but also leaves many of its neighbours behind regarding compliance
with the standards of the European community, the massage of the
NKR President on the 14tyh anniversary of NKR Independence, reported
ARKA News Agency by the press-service of the NKR President, says. The
evidence is the NKR parliamentary elections held in June, 2005, which
were highly evaluated by international independent observers. "Nobody
gave lessons of democracy to the people of Artsakh as it daily and
hourly take place regarding Azerbaijan - the country where none of
the elections, be it presidential, parliamentarian or local, have
complied with elementary standards of modern democratic society up
to now. Currently Azerbaijan is not able to protect the rights of
its own people, not speaking about the national minorities living
in this country. This fact alone is sufficient that for progressive
international community recognize the right of Nagorno Karabakh people
to have its own, independent from Azerbaijan and sovereign state",
Ghukasyan pointed out. A.A. -0--
