In connection with the anniversary of the NKR State Independence
Referendum and the Constitution Day NKR President Bako Sahakyan issued
a congratulatory address to the citizens of the republic. The address
reads as follows: "Respected citizens of the Nagorno Karabagh Republic,
Dear compatriots, The tenth of December is one of the most memorable
days for our people. On very day in 1991 our people officially sealed
their will to form 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 existence20of
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."
