On April 17, a scientific-practical conference – "Vital Problems of
Constitutionalism Development" – took place at the National Assembly
of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic.

Opening the conference, NKR NA Chairman Ashot Ghulian noted: "Holding
a similar scientific-practical conference in Artsakh testifies to
the availability of constitutional administration in the country and
confirms its multi-year efficiency".

NKR President Bako Sahakian made a greeting speech, in particular,
noting: "Development of constitutionalism is considered both in
Artsakh and Armenia as one of the key directions of consolidation of
independent statehood and integration with the civilized community.

Development of constitutionalism and the Armenian legal idea,
investigation of the leading states’ experience, and improvement of
the domestic legislative basis should be continued. This is one of the
principles of a democratic and legal state, which is an exceptional
value for us. For Artsakh, it is also one of the important directions
of international recognition of independence".

In their speeches, Chairman of the RA Constitutional Court Gagik
Harutyunian, Chairman of the NKR Supreme Court Ararat Daniyelian, RA
Prosecutor General Aghvan Hovsepian, RA Minister of Justice Gevorg
