    Nagorno-Karabakh Republic proves that true democracy is possible:

    Responding, on the pages of The New York Times, to an attack from his
    Azerbaijani counterpart against Artsakh's freedom, Robert
    Avetisyan, NKR Representative to the US, explains that the "existence
    of the democratic Nagorno-Karabakh Republic proves that true
    democracy is possible, even in conditions of a permanent threat of
    foreign aggression."

    The New York Times correctly notes that "The writer is the
    representative of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic to the United States."

    The article reads:

    A Jan. 21 letter from Azerbaijan's ambassador seems to be calling on
    the United States to disregard the continued campaign against human
    rights and freedoms in his country. Instead, he suggests turning
    attention to the conflict between Azerbaijan and Nagorno-Karabakh,
    which remains unresolved because of Azerbaijan's revanchist
    aspirations.

    Apparently, the recent increase in bloody attacks against
    Nagorno-Karabakh is how the Azeri leadership has chosen to distract
    attention, both domestic and international, from its suppression of
    liberties and dissent. The Azeri leadership must realize that by doing
    so it only deepens the gap with the international community, and
    delays a solution of the regional problems.

    Azerbaijan must stop using pretexts, including military provocations,
    to justify domestic shortcomings. Existence of the democratic
    Nagorno-Karabakh Republic proves that true democracy is possible, even
    in conditions of a permanent threat of foreign aggression.

    The people and democratically elected government of my country, the
    Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, are interested in peace, prosperity and
    democracy in all regional states, including neighboring Azerbaijan.
