Dear compatriots,

I congratulate you on the occasion of the 15th anniversary of
declaration of independence. Artsakhi people have made their
historical choice: they have defended their national rights in an
imposed war, and today they are building a free and democratic
state. Powerful Karabakh is the greatest memorial to the immortal
heroes of the liberation war in Artsakh.

The state construction in Nagorno Karabakh is directed at the
multifaceted development of the country and the rise of the Living
standards. The existence of a firm and democratic statehood in
Artsakh is necessary for the peaceful and fair settlement of the
Karabakh conflict.

It is the duty of the republic of Armenia and all Armenians contribute
to the development and mightiness, as well as the international
recognition of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic. Once again I
congratulate all of us on this great jubilee and wish peace and
progress.’
