Karabakh Grateful to Diaspora for Invaluable Assistance

Artsakh appreciates greatly the Diaspora’s assistance rendered for the formation of the young state, Nagorno Karabakh President Arkady Ghukasian said in an interview with Azat Artsakh newspaper. In his words, thanks to the close cooperation with the Diaspora, hundreds of kilometers of roads, dozens of schools and other social institutions were built in Nagorno Karabakh.

“It’s time for equal and mutually beneficial cooperation between Artsakh and Diaspora, though I by no means diminish the importance of the humanitarian assistance rendered by our compatriots. I think that the Diaspora, first of all in the United States and France, could render efficient assistance in the political field, that is for the international recognition of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic. I am convinced that during 15 years of its existence the NKR has asserted the right for an independent state. I would like to express my deep gratitude to those who made contribution to Artsakh’s renaissance,” the NKR leader underscored.
