constitution as a key milestone in Nagorno Karabakh's political and
democratic progress
Commenting on the referendum, Congressman Adam Schiff (D-CA) stated,
"I congratulate the people of the Republic of Nagorno Karabakh

development, and regional stability by democratically adopting a new
constitution. By establishing a market economy, holding free and
fair elections, and promoting human rights, the people of Nagorno
Karabagh have shown that they deserve an independent state free from
the oppressive Azerbaijani regime."
