    Bako Sahakyan was sworn in as President of the Nagorno Karabakh
    Republic today. After the ceremony President Sahakyan delivered a
    speech, Central Information Department of the Office of the NKR
    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."
