    Respected compatriots, Dear people of Artsakh,

    25 years ago this day proved to be pivotal for Artsakh and the
    whole Armenian people. The entire nation stood with a peaceful and
    legitimate demand corresponding to fundamental norms and principles of
    international law to restore historical justice, defend our violated
    dignity, rights and liberties.

    Our nation's struggle against foreign yoke, nearly seven decades of
    persistent violence and oppression was at the very basis of the 1988
    Movement. Despite all of that, the national-liberation outburst did
    not cultivate national hatred and animosity towards the neighboring
    nation. However, authorities of Azerbaijan responded to our civilized
    demands and peaceful demonstrations by organizing massacres, exiles
    and persecution. They once again tried to solve the Armenian issue
    through already applied policy - genocide.

    Nevertheless, this time their infernal intensions doomed to failure.

    The whole Armenian nation consolidated for the sake of defending
    Artsakh, the native country and people, its honor and reliable future.

    At the cost of the best Armenian sons' blood, due to their heroic
    deeds and selflessness we succeeded in protecting our independence
    and freedom as well as gave a worthy rebuff to the enemy establishing
    peace and stability in the whole region. Eternal glory and honor to
    all the martyrs!

    Dear compatriots,

    Valuating the 25-year long path we can say with honor and dignity
    that realizing the ideas of the objective of 1988 Movement the
    Armenian nation restored its statehood, and today due to the
    Armenia-Artsakh-Diaspora unshakable trinity it carves its own fate
    independently, keeps inviolable the native country's frontiers,
    develops the land of ancestors and always maintains bright the
    hearth fire.

    All of us, the whole nation will do everything possible for continuous
    strengthening of our independent statehood that has been reached
    at such a high price. It is an exclusive value without which it is
    impossible to think about the immortality and development of the
    Fatherland and the native people.

    Dear citizens of Artsakh,

    On behalf of the republic's authorities and personally myself I
    congratulate you, all our sisters and brothers in Armenia and the
    Diaspora on this great holiday. I wish all of you peace, robust health
    and great success.

    Stepanakert, February 20, 2013.
