    A. GHUKASYAN: LONG LASTING PEACE IS NECESSARY FOR THE CONSTRUCTIVE
    LIFE IN NKR

    YEREVAN, September, 2. /ARKA/. Long lasting peace is necessary for
    the constructive life in Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR), as it was
    stated in the message of NKR President Arkadi Ghukasyan on the
    occasion of the Day of NKR. According to NKR President's Press
    Service Department, the message states: "Taking an opportunity, I
    again confirm the adherence of the NKR authorities to peace
    settlement of the conflict with Azerbaijan. I think that if the
    Azerbaijani authorities have a good will to settle the conflict on
    mutually acceptable terms, then the mediation of the OSCE Minsk Group
    could have positive results". "The authorities of the country will
    continue paying attention to the issues of strengthening the NKR
    Defense Army. The command post military exercises of our army,
    equipped by the most modern armament, held in August 2004,
    demonstrated to the enemy of Artsakh high military efficiency of our
    army and its ability to solve the most difficult tasks to ensure the
    safety of NKR and its people", as stated in the message.
    According to Ghukasyan, "13 years ago the people of Artsakh made a
    historic choice to have free and independent NKR. The rightfulness of
    the choice is proved by the time marked by incredible efforts of the
    Artsakh people to defend the young republic from external aggression,
    to overcome hard consequences of the destroying war, and to improve
    the economy of NKR, its social and cultural areas. The success of the
    Artsakh people in building democratic state hasn't remained unnoticed
    on the part of progressive powers abroad. The fact that NKR is not
    recognized is not a cause for the majority of them to have a biased
    attitude to NKR. It's pleasant that the number of our friends abroad
    as well as that of our sincere well-wishers grows day by day".
