STEPANAKERT, SEPTEMBER 2, ARMENPRESS. The Day of the Republic of Artsakh is one of the greatest holidays of the Armenian people because the proclamation of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic has opened a new page in the history of the Armenian statehood and was the most ambitious geopolitical step that took place 31 years ago, Foreign Minister of Artsakh Davit Babayan said in an interview to ARMENPRESS, after paying a tribute in the Stepanakert Memorial and the Military Pantheon on September 2.
