/PanARMENIAN.Net/ On September 2, 1991 the people of Artsakh
opened a new chapter in our ancient history resolutely embarking
on the hard and honorable way of building free and independent,
sovereign and democratic state, NKR President Bako Sahakyan said
in his congratulatory address on the occasion of NKR independence
day. "From the very first day of its inception, our country was
forced to solve hard problems and ensure security for the state and
its citizens. Together with Armenia and the Diaspora Artsakh carried
out this mission with flying colors, defending state independence and
further strengthening its security. Many Armenians sacrificed their
lives for their Fatherland. Eternal glory to them! After the war,
the country faced new challenges, this time in economic domain. We
had to restore the wrecked economy and lay firm foundations for the
country's further development. Armenian people's creative will and
optimism about future, as well asthe inexhaustible energy of Artsakh
people enabled Nagorno Karabakh Republic to overcome all that in a
relatively short period," NKR President noted.
Mr. Sahakyan also stressed that the country showed stable growth in
almost all the branches of economy. "Our democratic system complies
with international norms and criteria. Artsakh is one of the key
factors contributing to maintenance of stability in the region, and
its international recognition is only matter of time. NKR Defense Army,
our most important security guarantor, is capable of giving a fitting
rebuff to any encroachment upon its independence and security. Yet,
much is to be done to overcome the existing challenges and strengthen
our native land. On the path of building and developing its statehood,
Nagorno Karabakh Republic guides itself by the principles of
establishing friendly ties and achieving peaceful co-existence with
neighboring states. We are sure that any disputable issue should be
resolved exclusively through peaceful methods and open dialogue. At
the same time, we should rule out possibility of weakening the state's
independence and security. These are exclusive values not subject
to any speculation. Dear compatriots, I heartily congratulate all
of us on this holiday and wish you peace, health and all the best,"
NKR President said.
