"Dear participants of the conference,

I welcome holding in Stepanakert the authoritative conference in connection with the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Day of the NKR Constitution. It is very important that the event is organized on a very high representative level and is academic in its nature.

The people of Nagorno Karabakh have been always committed to the principles of freedom and democracy as well as to creating such a jural state where the dignity and freedom of the human being and the citizen are of utmost value. The adoption of the NKR Constitution has confirmed once again the irreversibility of this process, the will and aspirations of our people to realize the right to live in free and just society that secures equal development opportunities for everybody.

This conference is a good opportunity to value the achievements of the NKR in protecting human and citizen rights and freedoms as well as in forming democratic and civil society. The state as the most important guarantor of human and citizen rights protection will keep being consistent and will further activate its efforts in this field."
