NOT A POLITICAL PROBLEM BUT THE PROBLEM OF HUMAN LIVES IS SOLVED
- “The official document proclaiming Nagorno-Karabakh Republic announced to the world that the Armenians of Artsakh have chosen the path of independence. The establishment of Nagorno-Karabakh Republic as a nation state was the imperative of the time,” said Speaker Ashot Ghulian addressing the official meeting devoted to the 15th anniversary of NKR. The meeting at the Home of Officers on September 1 was also an account of achievements of the past 15 years, homage to everyone who had sacrificed their lives for the sake of this day. The delegation of Armenia headed by the Armenian Prime Minister Andranik Margarian, the delegations of Abkhazia and South Osetia, as well as a number of guests who were aware of the problem and most of them had been beside the Armenians of Artsakh in those hard days had arrived to congratulate Artsakh. NKR President Arkady Ghukassian made a speech of congratulation and gratitude. His speech was a peculiar report on the word done in the past 15 years. And these achievements are visible, especially to those who saw Artsakh in the years of war and immediately after the cease-fire. Then the prime minister of Armenia Andranik Margarian addressed the meeting. “We believe that despite hardships, Artsakh is resolved to preserve and develop the achievements of the past years, strengthen the independent state,” said the Armenian prime minister and added, “Every achievement of yours is our success, every delay or threat worries us. We want peace, but we do not want to achieve it at any price. We do not want to lose at the table of negotiations what we got by blood.” In addition, the prime minister of Armenia assures that not only the government but also all the political forces of Armenia agree on this point, which is a rare thing. And there is a strong belief that it is necessary to act not only for the international recognition of NKR but also for the settlement of its internal problems. Then the heads of the delegations of the Abkhazian and South Osetian republics addressed the meeting. Then followed the speeches of people who not only are well aware of the historical fact of proclamation of NKR but also took part in the events that preceded and followed. In evaluating the past 15 years, Lieutenant-General Seyran Ohanian, minister of defense emphasized the creation of the defense army, which formed during military actions and successfully fulfilled the goal. Today it is an effective force with modern armament, which has been defending the security of NKR for over a decade without support from the outside and is ready to counteract to every encroachment. The words of the Archbishop of the Diocese of Artsakh Pargev Martirossian were also inspiring. “The most difficult period for a child is the age between childhood and adulthood. We have already gone through this age of transition,” said the spiritual leader. And it is important that Artsakh did it through the internal force of the Armenian environment, Archbishop Pargev said. “Nobody thought about death. I witnessed that, everyone thought about victory,” he said.
