    David Babayan: Recognition of NKR's independence by California is
    equivalent to recognition by a big and influential state

    Recognition of NKR's independence by California Senate has completed
    the process of NKR's recognition by California, NKR President's
    Spokesperson David Babayan told ArmInfo.

    He recalled that earlier the National Assembly of California
    recognized the NKR. According to Babayan, it is a very important
    step, as California is the biggest State by its population and
    economic potential. In addition, California State is among the world's
    top seven biggest economies. "That is why, recognition of NKR by
    California State is equivalent to recognition of our country by a big
    and influential state. It is a milestone event. Nevertheless, we plan
    expanding the geography of Artsakh's recognition," Babayan said.

    The spokesperson said in NKR they are very encouraged with the given
    news and very thankful to the people of California.

    In addition, Babayan sees something symbolic in the given step, as the
    Resolution was passed a few days ahead of NKR's Independence Day
    celebrated on 2 September.

    "I think, the resolution also hints Azerbaijan that civilized unions,
    countries and states simply cannot afford the policy of official Baku
    and cannot bear the attempts of a fascist and feudal country to settle
    the dispute with a democratic and civilized state by force," Babayan
    said.

    He said that such a phenomenal result is achieved due to close
    cooperation with Armenia and Diaspora. "It is a result of coordinated
    and consolidated efforts," Babayan said. The NKR president's
    spokesperson is sure that the given step will give a new impetus to
    the NKR-California relations. As for Azerbaijan's response to the
    Resolution, Babayan called it predictable. "They realized that money
    couldn't decide everything. Azerbaijan's propaganda is based on the
    lie and bribes and has no power against values and moral principles
    many countries and peoples adhere to. That is why Azerbaijan fell into
    violent hysterics. They spend billions of dollars to blacken Nagorno
    Karabakh, but it no longer works. I think, it is a kind of cry by a
    drowning man who no one wants to save, because a country that has
    entered the path on fascism will drown sooner or later," Babayan said.

    To recall, the California State Senate, led by incoming Senate
    President Pro Tem Kevin De Leon, by an overwhelming majority of votes
    on Wednesday passed Assembly member Mike Gatto's resolution, AJR 32,
    encouraging Artsakh's (Nagorno Karabakh) continuing efforts to develop
    as a free and independent nation and formally calling upon the upon
    the President and Congress of the United States to support the self-
    determination and democratic independence of the Nagorno-Karabakh
    Republic, reported the Armenian National Committee of America -
    Western Region.

    AJR 32 was adopted by the CA State Assembly in May 2014 by a sweeping
    vote of 70 to 2 under the leadership of Speaker Emeritus John Perez.
