Today we celebrate the 21st anniversary of the declaration of Nagorno
Karabakh Republic.
A joint session of the People's Deputies of the Nagorno Karabakh
and Shahumian regional councils, on September 2, 1991, declared
the establishment of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic (NKR) in the
former borders of the NKAR and the Shahumian region. A declaration
of independence was signed for the NKR. Rightful independence
was realized drawing on the April 3, 1990 USSR legislation; "The
regulation governing questions concerning a union republic seceding
from the USSR". This law governed the right of national autonomies
to decide independently their state-legal status when seceding from
the USSR. The Supreme Soviet of Azerbaijan during the same period
(November 1991), contrary to all legal norms, passed a law liquidating
the NKAR, that the USSR Constitutional Court declared unconstitutional.
Just a few days before the official collapse of the Soviet Union,
on December 10, 1991, a referendum was held in Nagorno Karabakh with
the overwhelming majority of the population voted in favor of total
independence from Azerbaijan.
Since the early morning the procession to the memorial complex
of Stepanakert has already begun. Thousands of Artsakh citizens,
representatives of the NKR and the RA authorities, guests of the
Republic visited the memorial complex to pay a tribute of respect to
the memory of all our victims.
Various events dedicated to the Day of our Republic are going to be
organized in different regions of the Republic, the main concert,
however, will take place at Stepanakert's Rebirth Square in the
evening.
