On September 2, 1991, a joint session of Nagorno-Karabakh local
government and Shahumyan regional council declared independence of
Nagorno-Karabakh Republic as per the USSR Law provision enabling
ethnic autonomies making independent decisions about their status.
NKR's sovereignty was confirmed in a referendum of December 10, 1991,

Today Nagorno-Karabakh Republic is an accomplished statehood with all
modern attributes, including democratic traditions, independent
