Capture of patriotic elite of Artsakh result of treacherous agreement  - Miklael Minasyan Artsakh representation in Armenia to open its doors to visitors on  Sept 2

ArmInfo.The doors of the Artsakh Republic representative office in Armenia will be open to all  comers on September 2 from 12:00 to 18:00. This was reported by the Artsakh Information Headquarters.

As noted by the Information Headquarters, this decision was made  against the background of the initiative of a group of public and  political figures who called for visiting the Artsakh representative  office in Yerevan on NKR Independence Day.

On September 2, 1991, a joint session of the Nagorno-Karabakh  regional and Shahumyan district councils of people's deputies was  held, at which the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) was proclaimed.   The proclamation of the NKR took place within the borders of the  former Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Region (NKAO) and the Shahumyan  region. Thus, the right reflected in the legislation in force at that  time was realized, in particular, in the law adopted on April 3,  1990, which provided for the granting of the right to national  autonomies to independently determine their state and legal status in  the event of the withdrawal of a union republic from the USSR. 

On December 10, 1991, just a few days before the official fall of the  Soviet Union, a referendum was held in Nagorno-Karabakh, during which  the overwhelming majority of the population - 99.89% - voted for  complete independence from Azerbaijan. After this, the NKR parliament  was elected in parliamentary elections, which formed the first  government. The independent NKR government carried out its duties  under the conditions of an absolute blockade and the subsequent  military aggression of Azerbaijan.
