YEREVAN, 10.04.08. DE FACTO. On territory, two countries – that is
the formula the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic President Bako Sahakian
determined in an interview with Polish "Rech Pospolita" newspaper
(21.03.08.), speaking of relations between the Nagorno-Karabakh
and Armenia. Bako Sahakian underscored that integration between the
Nagorno-Karabakh and Armenia deepened: "We are in a common economic
field. We have common currency, similar banking and custom systems.

We are quite integrated. And integration deepens year after year".

The NKR President noted the Karabakh movement had started with the
idea of joining Armenia; however, later the Nagorno-Karabakh had
chosen the path of independence. Answering a question what was the
difference between the RA and NKR, Bako Sahakian answered posing
another question: "What is the difference between Arabic countries,
or between Germany and Austria?"
