CONGRATULATION IN VIEW OF DAY OF REPUBLIC

September 02, 2009
Dear compatriots,
I convey to you my hearty congratulations in view of the day of Artsakh
Republic. 18 years ago with the Declaration of Independence a new
era opened for our small and invincible Homeland. The nation-state
sovereignty became the way, which leads our land through the havens
of survival and self-affirmation to get united with Armenia as an
inseparable part of Homeland.
The foundation of our statehood and consolidation of its grounds
did not come easily. Like many nations people of Artsakh as well
had to sanctify the independence and freedom of their country with
their own blood enduring the severities of the three-year war which
cost sacrificed lives of thousands of Armenians. The independence of
our Republic costs too dear inducing us all to preserve what we call
Republic of Nagorno Karabakh (Artsakh) with the greatest dedication and
care. I assure that the day will come and the international community
will pay its long-awaited respect to our country recognizing its
independence. Nowadays the international civilization is developing
also through attaching importance to such kind of values common to all
mankind. Irrespective of the world position our main problem today
is to develop and strengthen our Republic with all our potential,
increase its economic and social power through democratic institutions
and civil society.
We must not forget the fact that Artsakh continues remaining a
target for our enemy and other hostilely disposed forces, thus it is
necessary to allot our social and public resources to the destination
of fortifying the fighting efficiency of our triumphantly war-hardened
army. The Government deeply realizes these problems and in its everyday
activity assigns a primary place to their settlement applying new
resources and intentions.
We are obliged to successfully cope with this period of time when
the world economic crisis creates serious obstacles for all, first
of all for us, whereas, the process of Karabakh conflict settlement
still does not envisage necessary security for us. I have no doubt
towards overcoming the available difficulties and creating a more
fortified country endowed with its national feature.
Dear Artsakh people, I wish you health, power and prosperity. Once
more my congratulations to you in view of the glorious holiday. May
with God’s help all dreams of Artsakh people come true.
