ARTSAKH CELEBRATES ITS INDEPENDENCE DAY
The 16th anniversary of the independence of the Republic of Nagorno Karabakh, as it is the custom, was celebrated with a series of culture and sports events in Stepanakert. The most remarkable event in the celebration of Artsakh's Independence Day in 2007 was the inauguration of the new house of Parliament of . Speaker of the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia Tigran Torosian, who was present to the opening ceremony, confessed that the he liked the house of the Parliament of Karabakh much more than that of RA. In his turn Speaker of the National Assembly of NKR noted that 16 years ago Artsakh had neither the modern life conditions nor the powerful army. The inauguration ceremony ended with an exhibition of Baze Hrayr's photographs.
On that day an exhibition was also organized by the painters of Karabakh, who were representing their canvases devoted to the themes of freedom and independence. Another exhibition in Stepanakert was dedicated to historic and cultural researches on the liberated territories throughout 1990-2005.
Another noteworthy event was the opening of a new village in Karabakh, Vardout, which was constructed from very zero in the wilderness, and not rebuilt on a place of an older one. The village is provided with all infrastructures and all communal facilities.
Deputy of the RA National Assembly and head of the "Heritage" party Raffi Hovannissian represented his legislation project on recognition of the Republic of . He stated that the people of Artsakh have earned that right long ago and the Republic of Armenia has to adopt that fact de jure.
Speaker Tigran Torosian objected that the recognition of the independence of Karabakh mustn't be declarative. He said that each year the National Assembly and the Government of Armenia, elaborating the state budget, are always providing for an intergovernmental credit to Karabakh. Moreover, Armenia is engaged in negotiations and is defending the common interests of both the countries. He added that the official recognition of the independence of Karabakh shall take place "only when the time comes".
