President of Nagorno Karabakh Bako Sahakyan has issued a congratulatory address on the occasion of Day of NKR State Independence Referendum and Constitution.

Central Information Department of the NKR president’s office says the message runs as follows:

“Dear compatriots,
On behalf of the Artsakh Republic authorities and myself I congratulate you cordially on the day of the referendum on the NKR State Independence and the Constitution Day.

The December 10, 1991 referendum was a historic event in the life of the Artsakh people, which preconditioned the whole course of our country’s future development.

15 years later on the same day in 2006 we again held a nationwide referendum and adopted the basic law of our state and society - the Nagorno Karabagh Republic Constitution. Our nation thus reaffirmed its commitment to the fundamental principles of democracy and universal values, once again proving that the chosen path is unshakeable and right, its course is indivertible and firm.

Our goal is to implement the centuries-old dream of our ancestors to have a strong, developed and powerful state, secure prosperous life for the people, create a bright and brilliant future for the generations. I am confident that we will be able to realize our national goals and objectives together and united, shoulder to shoulder overcoming all the difficulties and steadily approaching to our final victory.

Once again I congratulate all of us on this important occasion and wish new success and achievements in building the Artsakh independent statehood.”
