STEPANAKERT, June 22. /ARKA/. The authority of the Nagorno-Karabakh
Republic (NKR) as a de facto independent states is consistently
increasing, NKR Prime Minister Anushavan Danielyan stated at the
international scientific conference "Nagorno-Karabakh Republic: past,
present, future."

"This is chiefly accounted for by the fact that the people’s demand is
a fair one and is based on serious legal and historical underpinnings,"
Danielyan said.

According to him, various international structures, authoritative
political and public figures are in active contacts with the NKR
authorities and representatives of public and political organizations.

"Noteworthy is the fact that everybody is supporting the reforms being
implemented in the country. They are well aware of the difficulties of
economic development in conditions of blockade and unsettled conflict,"
Danielyan said.

In this context, the most topical issue is the admission of the
NKR’s independence.

"The Nagorno-Karabakh Republic is interested in developing both
bilateral and multilateral cooperation with the countries of
the region, and the fundamental principle of the NKR’s policy is
openness and willingness for cooperation with all countries, including
Azerbaijan," Danielyan said. P.T. -0–
