Arayik Harutyunyan, President of the Republic of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) issued a congratulatory message on Artsakh’s Republic Day.
“Dear compatriots,
September 2 is the most important day in our life. The Nagorno-Karabakh Republic was proclaimed at the joint session of the Nagorno-Karabakh and Shahumyan regional councils of people’s deputies convened in Stepanakert thirty years ago. We have had achievements and losses on the way to state building.
I bow my head in memory of the martyrs who fell for the sake of the homeland. Human losses are irreversible and binding at the same time. We have a historic obligation to live and create in our own homeland, to build the Artsakh Republic, guided by our national values, with internationally enshrined rights.
Congratulations on Artsakh Republic Day.”
