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.
