"Dear compatriots,
I congratulate us all on the occasion of Nagorno Karabakh Independence
Day.
The last eighteen years reaffirmed the unambiguousness of the historic
decision adopted in 1991. Today, the Republic of Nagorno Karabakh is
an established state with its structures, army and most importantly,
with the citizens who are the masters of their own destiny.
Today, for us and for the international community Artsakh is a
modern republic which embodies the ideals of freedom, sovereignty and
democracy, and which despite all the objective as well as artificially
created hindrances and hardships is progressing, developing its
economy and culture, and defending peace.
The Republic of Armenia and the entire Armenian nation all these
years have been and will continue to be Artsakh's sturdy supporters. I
assure all the citizens of Artsakh and all Armenians that the peaceful
resolution to the NK conflict will be first and foremost based on
the consent and free will of the people of Artsakh.
Dear people of Artsakh,
We owe this holiday first of all to those who stepped into immortality
putting their lives on the altar of motherland and freedom. Bowing
to their memory, I once again congratulate you with this holiday and
wish you all well being, happiness and valor."
The NKR celebrates the 18th Anniversary of Independence. On September
2 1991 the joint session of Nagorno Karabakh Regional Council and
Shahumyan District Council of People's Deputies declared the Nagorno
Karabakh Republic within the borders of Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous
