On June 21, a scientific conference on the subject of `Shoushi – a
Cradle of Armenian Civilization’, dedicated to the 15th anniversary of
the town’s liberation, was opened in Shoushi. Well-known scientists
from Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh attend it.
The participants were welcomed by the NKR President Arkady Ghoukassian.
`This forum of the representatives of the Armenian science is,
undoubtedly, a significant event as a part of various measures on
Armenian studies and similar undertakings, held in Nagorno Karabakh
Republic during 15 years of its independence’, the message in
particular says.
The Head of the Republic underlined that the event differed by its
historical, cultural, legal and political importance, since it had been
dedicated to Shoushi – an ancient administrative, educational,
spiritual and cultural centre of Artsakh, and one of the cradles of the
Armenian civilization. He expressed confidence that the issues
discussed at the conference with their thematic and deep coverage will
have a significant role in the historical-scientific confirmation of
the region’s being a part of the national historical Armenian ethnicity.
`Today it is becoming more than actual in the context of speculations
and distortions, which our opponents bring into the process of the
Karabakh conflict settlement’, Arkady Ghoukassian emphasized.
