YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 20, ARMENPRESS: Artsakh overcomes all its difficulties due to unity of Armenia, Artsakh and Diaspora: It is an undeniable and undisputable reality. With such words began his speech President of Artsakh Republic Bako Sahakyan during meeting with representatives of awareness structures on Armenian issues. “When we speak about security of our country I note that together with Armenian army it is done by our population. We are forced to secure it by the whole nation and from the other hand to implement works directed to development of our economy. In direction of security during these years we implemented several works, founded multilayer defensive system which is always updated, is made corresponding to demands of time. We are forces to apply new ways to keep the level of security high as the rival not only implements provocative actions but also is distinguished by its obscene policy,” stressed Bako Sahakyan.

He highlighted that Artsakh has its characteristic features which are taken into consideration today and will be taken into consideration in future. “On of characteristic features of our country are the efforts to build Artsakh based on democratic principles and values. But I have to mention that past years experience show that when we copy the values of other countries not always favorable conditions for us are created,” he mentioned.

In Bako Sahakyan’s words at this moment by several authoritative organizations Artsakh has been considered as one of most secure countries of the world in sense of public security despite the fact that it is located in conflict area and in that region are accumulated large amount of weapons and ammunition. “We are proud of that achievement and when I am asked what the reason of it is I mention that is the result of patriotism by our citizens, activities of judicial and force keeping bodies. There is an indicator by which is calculated the level of public security: they take the crimes per 10 000 people which is 250 in several developed countries in Europe and in Artsakh has been decreased and reached 25. We are interested in implementing works in this direction which is in line with our dream: To build a country where it will be a pleasure to live not only for people of Artsakh abut also foreigners,” mentioned Artsakh Republic President.

Reverberating to Artsakh’s economy President Sahakyan stressed the fact that in part of water resources Artsakh is one of the richest countries of the world. “We have the aim to use effectively those resources and from a country which imports electricity become a self-sufficient country and later export it,” highlighted Sahakyan adding that the next direction of right and efficient using of water resources is agriculture. “We managed to have irrigation system,” he added.

Speaking about tourism Bako Sahakyan stressed the importance of the issue of making Artsakh more cognizable for people in Armenia. “Artsakh is a holy land for Armenians, like Jerusalem for Jews and Mecca for Muslim,” he said.
