    Karabakh celebrates 23rd anniversary of independence


    YEREVAN, September 2. /ARKA/. Artsakh is celebrating today the 23rd
    anniversary of declaration of independence of the Nagorno-Karabakh
    Republic.

    Various events, including official receptions and awarding ceremonies
    are to be held in the capital and the provinces of the country. The
    first lessons of 2014/2015 academic year were about NKR's Independence
    Day. Members of the parliament, the cabinet members and veterans of
    the Karabakh war have participated in 'courage classes' in schools.

    'Fire Ring' opera by Avet Terteryan will be performed in Shushi.
    Concerts, sports events and folk festivals are scheduled in
    Stepanakert and regional centers of the country, to be followed by a
    firework at Revival Square in the capital.

    Armenia's president Serzh Sargsyan is currently in Karabakh to
    participate in the festivities.

    On September 2, 1991, a joint session of Nagorno-Karabakh local
    government and Shahumyan regional council declared independence of
    Nagorno-Karabakh Republic as per the USSR Law provision enabling
    ethnic autonomies making independent decisions about their status.
    NKR's sovereignty was confirmed in a referendum of December 10, 1991,
    where 99.89% of the population voted for independence.

    Today Nagorno-Karabakh Republic is an accomplished statehood with all
    modern attributes, including democratic traditions, independent
    foreign policy, dynamic economic development, a capable army enjoying
    public confidence. -0--
