YEREVAN, June 22. /ARKA/. International recognition of the NKR
is the backbone of independence of Armenia and the NKR, and this
is necessary not only out of today’s political reasons, Armenian
Minister of Education and Science Levon Lazarian reported during
the international scientific conference in Stepanakert.
"If we speak today about strengthening of Armenia and the Armenian
people on our historical homeland, we should understand that we must
fix the first great and serious success of our liberating movement.
And this fixation is being made possible by daily work, by means of
formation, strengthening, development and uniting of Armenia and the
Nagorno-Karabakh Republic," Lazarian reported.
The fact of holding an international conference in the NKR, according
to the minister, is another witness that "the state has been formed,
and can claim full membership in the family of nations constituting
a part of the world civilization".
The international scientific conference "Nagorno-Karabakh Republic:
Past, Present and Future", dedicated to the 15th anniversary of the
proclamation of the NKR independence, has been held since June 21in
the Artsakh State University.
Participating in it were about 200 representatives from over 10
countries, including Armenia, France, USA, Russia, Germany and Great
Britain. The conference will be held in three areas on history,
culture and political and legal and socioeconomic issues. R.O. –0-
