STEPANAKERT. - The California State Senate's passing of the resolution
on the recognition of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR), or Artsakh,
is a major and significant event for all Armenians, NKR Presidential
Press Secretary Davit Babayan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.
In Babayan's words, NKR, Armenia, and the Armenian diaspora have been
making long efforts to achieve Karabakh's international recognition.
"The California Senate's passing of the resolution means that this
[US] state has finally accepted the independence of the
Nagorno-Karabakh Republic. This is very symbolic; California
recognized Karabakh's independence on the eve of September 2, the day
of the declaration of NKR's independence. This is a gift from the
residents of California to the people of Artsakh," he stated.
Babayan also noted that the passing of this resolution has introduced
a new quality to the process of NKR's international recognition, since
the US State of California is comparable to the world's largest
countries in terms of economic and demographic aspects.
"It can be said that one of the world's major countries has accepted
Karabakh's independence. This fact is a new impetus and opportunity
from the viewpoint of expanding the geographical scope of the
recognition of NKR's independence," he noted.
The NKR presidential spokesperson also expressed a view that the
recognition of NKR's independence reflects the fact that Karabakh is
an established democratic state.
As reported earlier, the California State Senate on Wednesday passed,
by an overwhelming majority of votes, Assembly member Mike Gatto's
resolution (AJR 32) on the recognition of the independence and
self-determination of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR), or Artsakh.
AJR 32 encourages Artsakh's continuing efforts to develop as a free
and independent nation and formally calls upon the President and
Congress of the United States to support the self-determination and
democratic independence of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic.
