    Within the framework of the visit to the US, the delegation of the
    Nagorno Karabakh Republic headed by Parliament Speaker Ashot Ghulyan
    participated in the sitting of the Los Angeles City Council.
    Introducing the guest, member of the LA City Council Paul Krekorian
    spoke about the path Artsakh has passed from its forced annexation to
    the declaration of independence.

    This was the second official reception organized by the City Council
    in honor of a delegation from Nagorno Karabakh. The first was held two
    years ago, when the Council hosted NKR President Bako Sahakyan. Then
    the NKR President was handed a declaration, which was expressing the
    willingness of the LA City Council to support the young state and its
    people moving along the path of democracy.

    Speaking at the sitting, Paul Krekorian stressed that `today Artsakh
    is truly a democratic, sovereign and independent state.'

    National Assembly speaker Ashot Ghulyan expressed gratitude to the
    City Council for recognizing the right of the people of Artsakh to
    self-determination. According to him, this is already the second step
    towards establishing cooperation between Los Angeles and Shushi, the
    second largest city in Artsakh.

    The NKR delegation was welcomed by Eric Garcetti, member of the Los
    Angeles City Council. `Although the Federal authorities of the US have
    not yet recognized the independence of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic,
    we are the people of this country and our decision is unbreakable,'
    Garcetti said, speaking about the declaration.

    `We are proud that Los Angeles was the first to make a step
    recognizing the right of the people of Artsakh to self-determination,'
    he said.

    Upon the outcome of the meeting Paul Krekorian handed a certificate
    asserting the friendly ties between Los Angeles and Shushi to Ashot
    Ghulyan.
