INDEPENDENT, DEMOCRATIC AND STRONG ARMENIA AND NKR GUARANTORS OF ARMENIAN NATION SECURITY

PanARMENIAN.Net - "The brutal murder by an Azeri serviceman of his Armenian colleague in Budapest that shook the whole of the civilized world, was just the result of the Baku criminal policy," Nagorno Karabakh Republic President Arkady Ghukasian stated when addressing Ultimate Crime, Ultimate Challenge: Human Rights and Genocide international conference. The statement of the NKR President notes, "The response to this outrageous crime of the Azeri society, which took the murderer as a national hero, demonstrated the grievous fruits of the Armenian-hatred policy of the Baku authorities. That is why until people directly responsible for organizing mass slaughter of ethnic Armenians in their republic as well as in Nagorno Karabakh hold power in Azerbaijan, it will be difficult to believe that a mutually acceptable and civilized settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, subsequent peaceful coexistence and mutually favorable cooperation of our peoples and states are possible. Where is the way out? Which lesson we have learned from the tragic events taken place 90 years ago and the relatively near past? How can we resist to criminal intentions of our neighbors in the future and not admit the repetition of the past?

Unfortunately the contemporary practice of international relations has not worked out efficient mechanisms for preventing or at least operative suppression of mass annihilation of people based on the national, racial or religious criteria. The national liberation movement of the people of Artsakh has illustrated that the most efficient way to counteract genocide threats is not endlessly appealing to international institutions and expecting their intervention, but the self-organization of the society, ready to armed resistance to defend the right to live on the earth granted to him by God. The highest form of self-organization of the Artsakh people was the Karabakh statehood, which succeeded in fulfilling the vital task of neutralization of external military threats to the security of the Nagorno Karabakh people with the assistance of the Armenians of the world. Independent, democratic and strong Armenia, the independent, democratic and strong Nagorno Karabakh Republic - these are the guarantors of the security of our nation."
