    Artsakh Revival Day marked February 20


    On 20 February in connection with the Artsakh Revival Day, NKR
    President Bako Sahakyan partook at the meeting with the NKR National
    Assembly deputies of all convocations and delivered a welcoming speech
    there, the central information department of the office of the NKR
    President reported.

    "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
    accordance 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," President's address
    reads.

    B. Sahakyan highlighted that 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," President
    said.

    Addressing everyone present, B. Sahakyan said, 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," Bako Sahakyan said.
