    Sahakian Criticizes Azerbaijani `Radical Politics'

    YEREVAN, September 3 - `We will do everything in the name of
    independence as the ultimate goal, and this work of serving the
    country will lead us to the recognition of the independence by the
    international community,' the president of Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh
    Republic) Bako Sahakian told journalists on Thursday.

    `On September 2, 1991, our nation made a decision of independence, on
    December 10 the same year a national referendum approved it, and the
    adoption of the Constitution in 2006, reaffirmed it,' he said.

    `The independence has an exceptional value for our nation, which was
    founded and acquired, primarily due to the conscious self-sacrifice of
    thousands of our brave ones. And we consider it our duty to remember
    them and as gratitude for their heroism and sacrifice we are trying to
    create conditions in order to reassert the independence gained by the
    sacrifice. `

    Commenting on the recent initiative of Azerbaijan to the UN, Sahakian
    said, `Yes, Azerbaijan is making such attempts, and it is not his
    first attempt. Over the years they have repeatedly made various
    statements to the effect that the work of the Minsk Group did not work
    out and tried to postpone the issue in other international forums,
    particularly in the UN.

    `We are deeply convinced that such an attempt could not be effective
    not only for Azerbaijan but also for the process to solve this problem
    because, in our view, the main difficulties and the fact that we
    cannot achieve more significant results in the Armenia and Azerbaijan
    negotiation processes is associated with radical politics of the
    Azerbaijani government,' Sahakian said.

    `Azerbaijan must demonstrate a constructive approach that will
    certainly help resolve the problem peacefully,' he said.

    Arstakh celebrated its Independence Day on September 2. The
    independence of Artsakh has not been formally recognized by any state,
    including Armenia.
