WASHINGTON-Representative Frank Pallone (D-NJ) sent a congratulatory
letter to Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (Artsakh) President Bako Sahakian
marking the 20th anniversary of Karabakh's independence.
"Dear President Sahakyan, I am writing to congratulate the people of
the Nagorno Karabakh Republic, Artsakh, and you on the Anniversary of
Independence. This 20th anniversary symbolizes yet another important
milestone in your struggle for freedom. On September 2, 1991 the
people of Artsakh declared their intention to build a free and
democratic state, and they have been steadfast in this mission. You
have successfully defended your country against military aggression.
Many of Artsakh's brave sons and daughters sacrificed their lives to
ensure the triumph of liberty in your Homeland. The unwavering faith
in your righteous cause and your commendable perseverance led you to
many more victories in restoring your war-torn economy, strengthening
your democracy and creating a firm basis for a continued development
and prosperity," said Pallone in his letter.
Pallone emphasized that "for the past 20 years, the Nagorno Karabakh
Republic, Artsakh, has proven its vitality, its strong commitment to
the universal values of freedom, peace and democracy."
"I deeply appreciate your constructive approach and ongoing
contribution to peace and stability in the region and assure you of
our steadfast commitment to Artsakh's security and development. I have
been proud to stand with you along your heroic path to liberty and to
aid you in your efforts to achieve formal, international recognition
of your independence. I look forward to the day when the flag of
an independent Artsakh would proudly fly all over the world as a
testament to the realization of your democratic dream," added Pallone.
