NKR President Bako Sahakyan issued a congratulatory address to the
citizens of the republic in connection with the anniversary of the
NKR State Independence Referendum and the Constitution Day, Central
Information Department of the Office of the NKR President reported. The
address reads as follows:
"Respected citizens of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic, Dear compatriots,
The 10th of December is one of the most memorable days for our
people. On that very day in 1991 our people officially sealed their
will to form a free, independent and sovereign state. And it was not a
coincident that 15 years later on this very day of 2006 the people of
Artsakh once again expressed their resoluteness to further strengthen
and develop independent statehood and on a nation-wide referendum
adopted the basic of the country – the NKR Constitution. It has marked
the irreversibility of our state policy to build democratic country,
our commitment to the follow international norms and integrate with
the civilized world.
The basic law of the country is among the attributes of independent
statehood. It guarantees rights and freedoms of people and citizens,
regulates internal life of the state and its relations with the
world. It is a specific bridge between the past, the present and the
future of the country and its people. The Constitution clearly states
that independence and secure existence of Artsakh have no alternatives.
Dear friends, I congratulate all our people once again on this
very important holiday and cordially wish you peace, good health
and happiness.
All the best to you."
