Office of the MP Jim karygiannis, Canadian Government has issued the
following news release:
Nagorno Karabakh (Artsakh) Independence Day Statement by the Honourable
Jim Karygiannis, Member of Parliament for Scarborough-Agincourt
I would like to take this opportunity to extend my best wishes to
members of the Canadian Armenian community and the people of Nagorno
Karabakh (Artsakh) on the occasion of Nagorno Karabakh (Artsakh)
Independence Day.
On December 10, 1991, days before the official dissolution of
the Soviet Union, a referendum on independence was held in Nagorno
Karabakh. The overwhelming majority of Artsakh's population voted in
favour of independence.
The people of Artsakh consider September 2nd the day The Republic
of Nagorno Karabakh was proclaimed. The occasion is marked as a
state holiday.
Today, The Nagorno Karabakh Republic is a de facto independent,
democratic and fully functioning state, with a thriving market economy
and a dynamic civil society, which is working toward entrenching its
freedom and the formal recognition of its independence.
In July 2012, I led a team of Canadian Election Observers for the
Presidential Election in The Republic of Nagorno Karabakh. It was
a picture perfect election from start to finish and witnessing
the election process in a new democracy was a positive learning
experience. I also met with government officials, residents of Nagorno
Karabakh and members of the Canadian Diaspora who were visiting and
learned more about the challenges facing this Artsakh.
