June 21 an international scientific conference titled "The
Nagorno-Karabakh Republic: Past, Present, Future" dedicated to the
15th Anniversary of the declaration of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic
will open at Artsakh State University in Stepanakert. About 200
representatives from over ten countries, including France, the US,
Russia, Germany, Great Britain and Armenia, will participate in
the conference, NKR Minister of Education, Culture and Sports Kamo
Atayan said.

"Holding such a representative conference we will reaffirm that the
Nagorno-Karabakh Republic is a reality, a state that de facto exists
having all necessary state structures," the Minister said. According
to Kamo Atayan, the fact that "the NKR is developing under conditions
of blockade, taking into consideration that the Republic has not been
recognized by the international community" is of peculiar interest.

There will be three sections in the course of the conference
– historical, cultural, as well as political-legal and
socio-economic. Kamo Atayan said for the first time the section of
culture will be held in the Gandzasar Monastery (XIII century) in
the NKR Martakert region.
