17:30, 20 February, 2013
STEPANAKERT, FEBRUARY 20, ARMENPRESS. The Artsakh President Bako
Sahakyan has issued address on the occasion of the 25th anniversary
of the Artsakh National-Liberation Movement. The Central Information
Department of the Artsakh Republic President informed "Armenpress"
that the address runs as follows:
"Respected compatriots,
Dear people of Artsakh,
25 years ago this day proved to be pivotal for Artsakh and the
whole Armenian people. The entire nation stood with a peaceful and
legitimate demand corresponding to fundamental norms and principles of
international law to restore historical justice, defend our violated
dignity, rights and liberties.
Our nation's struggle against foreign yoke, nearly seven decades of
persistent violence and oppression was at the very basis of the 1988
Movement. Despite all of that, the national-liberation outburst did
not cultivate national hatred and animosity towards the neighboring
nation. However, authorities of Azerbaijan responded to our civilized
demands and peaceful demonstrations by organizing massacres, exiles
and persecution. They once again tried to solve the Armenian issue
through already applied policy - genocide.
Nevertheless, this time their infernal intensions doomed to failure.
The whole Armenian nation consolidated for the sake of defending
Artsakh, the native country and people, its honor and reliable future.
At the cost of the best Armenian sons' blood, due to their heroic
deeds and selflessness we succeeded in protecting our independence
and freedom as well as gave a worthy rebuff to the enemy establishing
peace and stability in the whole region. Eternal glory and honor to
all the martyrs!
Dear compatriots,
Valuating the 25-year long path we can say with honor and dignity
that realizing the ideas of the objective of 1988 Movement the
Armenian nation restored its statehood, and today due to the
Armenia-Artsakh-Diaspora unshakable trinity it carves its own fate
independently, keeps inviolable the native country's frontiers,
develops the land of ancestors and always maintains bright the
hearth fire.
All of us, the whole nation will do everything possible for continuous
strengthening of our independent statehood that has been reached
at such a high price. It is an exclusive value without which it is
impossible to think about the immortality and development of the
Fatherland and the native people.
Dear citizens of Artsakh,
On behalf of the republic's authorities and personally myself I
congratulate you, all our sisters and brothers in Armenia and the
Diaspora on this great holiday. I wish all of you peace, robust health
and great success."
