NKR Meets European Standards Much Better than Baku

PanARMENIAN.Net - "I was glad to learn about the international conference dedicated to the 15th anniversary of proclamation of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic. This is an evidence that our state has formed," NKR President Arkady Ghukasian stated in Stepanakert at the opening of the international conference titled "Nagorno Karabakh Republic: Past, Present and Future." In his words, recent 15 years have proved that the people of Nagorno Karabakh have the right to live in an independent state that was proclaimed according to the former USSR legislation and norms of the international law.



"Though the NKR has not been recognized by the international community yet, our republic meets the European standards much better than Azerbaijan, which having imposed a war on us attempted to get rid of the Armenian population of Nagorno Karabakh. However our people not only held out in an unequal bloody opposition but also managed to cure the wounds of the war, restore the economy and raise the cultural life during a short period of time. The NKR possesses an efficient and equipped army, which is the best guarantor of security and prosperity of Nagorno Karabakh and its people," Arkady Ghukasian said.
