The France-Karabakh Friendship Circle ha issued a statement, warmly welcoming Resolution AJR 32 adopted on August 27, 2014 by the California State Senate, which “encourages and supports the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic’s continuing efforts to develop as a free and independent nation in order to guarantee its citizens those rights inherent in a free and independent society”.
The statement, in particular, reads, “The Resolution adopted on the eve of the 23rd anniversary of the NKR independence welcomes the NKR efforts aimed at the development of a legal state and democratic institutions.
The vote in California, which occupies the 8th place in the world in its economic potential, testifies that the independence of Artsakh is an irreversible process, because this democratic state cannot be again subjected to Azerbaijan, which is considered authoritarian by numerous human rights organizations”.
The Circle calls upon France to follow the example of California, in full compliance with the Republic’s values.
