/PanARMENIAN.Net/ On June 21, a scientific conference on the subject of
"Shushi – a Cradle of Armenian Civilization", dedicated to the 15th
anniversary of the town’s liberation, was opened in Shushi.

Well-known scientists from Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh are
participating in the conference.

The participants were welcomed by the NKR President Arkady Ghukasian.

"This forum of the representatives of the Armenian science is,
undoubtedly, a significant event as a part of various measures on
Armenian studies and similar undertakings, held in Nagorno Karabakh
Republic during 15 years of its independence", the message says,
in part.

The Republic leader underlined that the event differed by its
historical, cultural, legal and political importance, since it had been
dedicated to Shushi – an ancient administrative, educational, spiritual
and cultural center of Artsakh, and one of the cradles of the Armenian
civilization. He expressed confidence that the issues discussed at
the conference with their thematic and deep coverage will have a
significant role in the historical-scientific confirmation of the
region’s being a part of the national historical Armenian ethnicity.

"Today it is becoming more than actual in the context of speculations
and distortions, which our opponents bring into the process of the
Karabakh conflict settlement", Arkady Ghukasian emphasized, the NKR
MFA press office reported.
