ArmInfo. On 20 February in connection with the Artsakh Revival Day
President Bako Sahakyan partook at the meeting with the NKR National
Assembly deputies of all convocations and delivered a welcoming speech
there.
Central Information Department of the Office of the NKR President has
provided ArmInfo with the text of the address:
"Dear attendees,
I am glad to welcome all of you and congratulate all our compatriots
on the Artsakh Revival Day. Each of you carries the very symbol of
this day and has had a personal contribution to the realization of the
ideas of the national liberation movement. Many of our friends have
laid down their lives for victory of these ideas. Eternal glory and
honor to them!
20 February of 1988 became the starting point of our national revival.
We stood to defend our natural right for free and independent life on
our native land, for mastering our own destiny independently and in
correspondence with international norms and principles. Azerbaijan
reacted to our peaceful and just demand with cruel and bloody war,
which caused heavy human sacrifices and devastations. The heroic
people of Artsakh together with world spread Armenians managed to
withstand all the ordeals and chose the path of building a democratic
state. For us this way has been irreversible and final.
We are very much confident that every problem the contemporary world
faces can be solved exclusively in civilized manner, around the
negotiation table through direct dialogue. In contrast with this the
authorities of Azerbaijan continue to wage militaristic policy keeping
their own people in a situation of permanent tensions and the danger
of war resumption. These threats are vain and inappropriate. We have a
regular and efficient army that is ready to give a fitting rebuff to
any encroachment upon the security of our state and people.
Dear friends,
The NKR National Assembly of all convocations has played a great role
in building an independent statehood, forming state institutions and
consolidating democratic values. Soon there will be new regular
elections of the NKR National Assembly. For our people it is a
political event of utmost importance. And we should do everything
possible for these elections as always to be carried out in
correspondence with international standards and take us a step forward
Ïn the way of building a firm and prosperous future of Artsakh.
Thank you!"
