Republic today. After the ceremony President Sahakyan delivered a

Republic President reported.
"Respected President of the Republic of Armenia,
Your Eminences,
Respected President Ghoukasyan,
Generals and Officers,
Dear compatriots,
Respected guests,
Assuming the post of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic President, I fully
comprehend the whole responsibility I am taking, the responsibility for
the destiny of the homeland and our people. I am ready and resolute to
realize my election program, to lead Artsakh along the path of stable
and comprehensive development. I will continue to serve our motherland,
make it stronger and more prosperous. I will do everything possible
to ensure wealthier and safer life for our citizens.
Five years ago, on 7 September I assumed the post of the Artsakh
Republic President for the first time and we together started to
solve problems our country faced. By joint efforts of the whole
Armenian nation, through the involvement of all political forces and
consistent support of Armenia and Diaspora we succeeded in solving
numerous issues, realizing different projects to strengthen Artsakh's
defense capacity, harmoniously developing the economy, improving living
conditions of the population. During the last five years substantial
work has been done, achievements are palpable and evident. I want
to underline that each of you, all our citizens have great personal
input in this process.
I am interested in taking into consideration all opinions and
viewpoints, study and discuss submitted proposals. I call continue
to keep doing, to keep doing with new spirit and zeal, with hope and
faith, with confidence that our success is in our hands and we will
yield the desired results.
Our nation has repeatedly proved its ability to conquer heights
seeming to be unattainable due to his inflexible will and firm spirit,
profound wisdom and strength, unity and consolidation. Today's revived
Artsakh is the striking illustration of that. People of Artsakh
having passed through numerous ordeals, irreplaceable losses and
nowadays developing their ancestors' land with a victorious spirit,
always keeping bright the native hearth should live with dignity. The
best sons of the Armenian nation sacrificed their lives for the sake
of this goal. For this very goal today we go on struggling, working
out and realizing projects of vital importance.
We must build a democratic state based on human rights and liberties,
legitimate interests and national aspirations, mutual respect and
compassionate attitude to one another.
The most important wealth our nation possesses is its intellectual
potential, mature and initiative people, educated and well-rounded
youth. We should develop the economy, create necessary and equal
conditions for every individual to fully realize his abilities and
potential.
It is our duty to care for the families of the perished freedom
fighters, disabled Artsakh war veterans, socially vulnerable strata
of our population.
We must further cement freedom and independence of the Artsakh
Republic, strengthen the Defense Army, the main guarantor of
our security. The Armenian army is our pride and the conspicuous
demonstration of our victorious spirit. We always say that we strongly
oppose the war, we are proponents of the conflict's peaceful settlement
through civilized dialogue and with full participation of the Artsakh
Republic in the negotiation process. At the same time we reiterate that
our independence and freedom are exclusive values and any encroachment
upon them will get a fitting rebuff.
Dear Friends, We must have a strong and developing Motherland, a
state every Armenian is proud of, a country where living and working
is an honor for every citizen. I am very much confident that we will
succeed in realizing our national goals and aspirations because for
already two decades we are building our native Artsakh with dignity
and unity. And we will keep on building, building together for the
sake of our nation, its bright and secure future."
