Congratulatory address of President Bako Sahakyan in connection with the Day of the Artsakh Republic
Dear compatriots,
I cordially congratulate you on our state holiday - the Day of the Artsakh Republic.
This holiday is important and memorable for all Artsakh people as everyone has personal contribution to the formation and development of our independent statehood. Of course, we still have a lot to do both in the field of foreign policy and in socioeconomic sphere. However, one thing is distinct and irreversible: Artsakh people and authorities are steadfast and firm in the realization of national goals and will do everything possible for building a radiant future for the Artsakh Republic.
The Motherland always keeps bright the memory of its sons who sacrificed their lives in name of free and independent Artsakh. Eternal honor and glory to our martyrs!
2 September is also a holiday for our compatriots in Armenia and the Diaspora. Due to their joint efforts the ancient Armenian Artsakh still exists and continues flourishing and prospering.
Dear compatriots, I congratulate all of us once again on this holiday of utmost importance and wish peace, robust health and all the best.
Stepanakert, September 2, 2010.
