STEPANAKERT, NOVEMBER 16, NOYAN TAPAN. On the occasion of the 40th
anniversary of the Artsakh State University, President of the Nagorno
Karabakh Republic Bako Sahakian on November 13 sent a message of
congratulation, which in particular reads:

"The major higher educational institution of Artsakh celebrates
its 40th anniversary. It is a holiday of our people and our
republic as during this period the university has been one of
the centers of preservation of our national identity. Thanks to
the reforms in 1992, it received status of university, which was
of both scientific-educational and political importance for our
newly-independent republic.

Today the Artsakh State University continues playing a key role in
the upbringing of our younger generation, personnel training, and
state building. The present conditions cause new problems for the
university, and their solution requires daily hard, consistent and
coordinated work. It is necessary to extend and deepen our relations
with other universities in Armenia and foreign countries and to use
each opportunity to constantly develop and improve. Our purpose is
to have a modern and competitive scientific-educational center in
line with international standards, and with state assistance, the
governing body of the university must do its best to achieve that".
