"Not only must Azerbaijan recognize the independence of Artsakh,
but must also be grateful to the people of Artsakh, since Azerbaijan
gained independence as a result of the Artsakh movement of 1988,"
Deputy Director of the Armenian National Archive Edgar Hovhannisyan
told a press conference today.
Edgar Hovhannisyan quoted Andrey Sakharov as saying: "The Karabakh
Movement was the touchstone that accelerated the collapse of the
Soviet Union." Therefore, according to him, it would be quite logical
for Azerbaijan to be grateful to the Artsakh Movement for its own
independence."
According to political scientist Sergey Minasyan, although the
Nagorno Karabakh Republic is not recognized internationally, it is
more full-fledged than a number of UN member states, and all elections
held in Artsakh ever since independence are enough to prove it.
