"In 1991 the declaration of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic was the
only correct approach having no alternative," NKR President Arkady
Ghukasyan said on September 2 on the occasion of the 16th anniversary
of declaration of NKR.

The President said: "We have a brilliant past: we won on the battle
field, we overcame the post-war syndrome and built a state."

"We are a full-fledged state, irrespective of the fact whether the
international community recognizes us or not. Today it is impossible
not to take into consideration the fact of existence of the Nagorno
Karabakh Republic," Arkady Ghukasyan declared.

Speaking at the opening ceremony for the new building of the NKR
Parliament, RA National Assembly Speaker Tigran Torosyan declared
that NKR has matured as an independent republic. He underlined that
"there is no doubt that Nagorno Karabakh will be recognized by the
international community."

Tigran Torosyan called the declaration of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic
a "great miracle," which will be paid the due in the course of time.

"Today we have two states with a huge potential, about which we could
not even dream in the past," Tigran Torosyan said.
