Yerevan, 3 July: Nagornyy Karabakh has many more arguments to persuade
the international community of the inevitability of a process of
gaining independence, than Kosovo has. The president of Nagornyy
Karabakh, Arkadi Ghukasyan, said this while presenting a report
entitled "Nagornyy Karabakh: perspectives of settlement" in
Russian-Armenian (Slavic) State University.

"It is a very long and difficult path, but we do not have a choice
since an independent statehood status has never been the ultimate
target for us. The creation of Karabakh statehood was a forced measure
for it was the only way to protect our borders. We have announced a
state and have mobilized all resources of Nagornyy Karabakh with the
aim of protecting our borders. The state in this case became a
guarantee of Nagornyy Karabakh’s security," Ghukasyan said.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
