YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 1, ARMENPRESS: Armenian prime minister Andranik
Margarian has addressed a message to Nagorno Karabakh Republic (NKR)
president Arkadi Ghukassian and people of Artsakh congratulating
them on 13th anniversary of proclamation of independence in NKR. The
message runs as follows,
“Dear compatriots, I congratulate you on the Day of Independence
in Nagorno Karabakh Republic. Thirteen years ago Artsakh Armenians
expressed their common will in creating an independent statehood
on the historic motherland, defending the right for decent life and
commitment to pan-national values. That will is unbreakable. It is
proved by the victory of Armenian freedom loving spirit in the war
imposed on Armenians and in present steps to preserve that victory
and build a democratic state.
Nagorno Karabakh continues to keep to its professed principle of
peaceful resolution of the conflict and is full of determination to
face any threat to its rule. The historic people of Artsakh should be
sure that they have a trustworthy defender of their perished dreams
in the face of Republic of Armenia and every Armenian.
Long live the memory of the heroes who died for Artsakh. The highest
paid homage to them will be preservation of the victory.
I wish to freedom loving people of Artsakh long lasting peace and
creative work.”
