    HOLIDAY OF DECLARATION OF NKR INDEPENDENCE CELEBRATED IN REPUBLIC
    SEPTEMBER 2

    Stepanakert, September 1. ArmInfo. NKR people celebrates the 15th
    anniversary of Nagorno Karabakh Republic's formation on September
    2. In the talk with ArmInfo wown correspondent in Stepanakert, the
    Karabakh political scientist, David Babayan, noted one can literally
    state that the Karabakh movement has become a cradle of rebirth of the
    Armenian state system as a whole. It was just Karabakh which created a
    completely new configuration of Armenia-Artsakh (Karabakh)-Diaspora in
    the Armenian history and politics. There was no such a configuration
    before, Babayan noted.

    According to him, even when there was no Armenian state system, there
    existed one united ethno-cultural and political space, at that,
    Karabakh was a center of political activity of all the Armenians for a
    long time (since XV century after the Kilikian Armenia fall) in view
    of the fact that it had the main attributes of political independence
    and self-government for that time, i.e. national nobility, clergy and
    army. Artsakh had turned out separated from Armenia both
    administratively and culturally only in 1921, when it was transferred
    to Azerbaijan by bolsheviks, Babayan said.

    As for Diaspora, he said, though the Armenian always existed, but in
    XX century it underwent fundamental transformations. After the
    well-know events in the Osman Turkey in 1915, the Diaspora started to
    develop independently and separately, having created a specific
    subculture, the main consolidating element of which the memory of 1915
    Genocide can be called. The Diaspora became stronger and influential
    enough in a number of countries, especially in the USA, and it
    directed its main political activity at Genocide recognition and
    maintenance of this idea in Diaspora.
