President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan addressed a message on the
occasion of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic Independence Day.
The message runs:
`Dear Artsakhians,
I cordially congratulate you on the occasion of Independence Day.
It's been more than two decades that you have been healing the wounds
inflicted by the war unleashed by the short-sighted authorities of
Azerbaijan; you are restoring to life your villages and towns
devastated by the deadly bombs and missiles, your homes and schools;
you are building and beautifying the land of your ancestors. Today, we
state with confidence that the Republic of Nagorno Karabakh is an
accomplished state - democratic and developing. It is obvious for the
entire world, even for those who hate to admit it.
In 1991, when the people of Artsakh were making their historic
decision, we told Azerbaijan that the Armenians must not be
underestimated. Our words fell on deaf ears. We said that we didn't
want war but we were ready and would fight. And again our words fell
on deaf ears. We said that we were not afraid of maniacs, sadists and
murderers, that we had already seen that. Once again our words fell on
deaf ears. And they unleashed war which had one clear-cut goal -to
wipe the Armenians out from the territory of Artsakh, or at least to
expel them. The program of ethnic cleansing failed, as will fail every
new one.
Today, we state the same: the Armenians must not be underestimated; we
don't want a war, but if we have to, we will fight and win; we are not
afraid of murderers even of those enjoy the highest patronage. And
again our words fall on deaf ears. Well, they have been warned.
Recently, we have witnessed a morbid episode. The one who killed with
an axe a sleeping Armenian officer was set free. We expect the
response of the international structures as well as of the Minsk Group
Co-Chairs on this. However regardless of the response, on behalf of
the people of Artsakh and the entire Armenian nation, I would like to
pose a question - after what has happened, is there a living soul on
this planet who will advise the people of Artsakh to become part of
Azerbaijan, a country where illicit orders set free and publicly
glorify every bastard which kills people only because they are
Armenians?
A greater disgrace for the European justice is hardly to be imagined,
particularly for Armenia and Artsakh, because it was looked upon for
guidelines, but now we have seen another face of it.
Dear compatriots, unfortunately the history of Artsakh has never been
short of the invaders and brigands. We know that, we also know how to
send them right where they belong - to the cesspit of history. We have
been doing it regularly, and if needed, will do it again.
Almost daily, and particularly in recent days, we are witnessing new
proofs on how justified the choice made by the people of Artsakh 21
years ago was. We continue to receive new striking evidence what was
in store for the people of Artsakh. Today is a great day, and nothing
can spoil our glorious holiday. I wish your families peace and
prosperity.
Long live free Artsakh - embodiment of Armenian dignity!'
