Welcome Letter
Dear Visitor
Welcome to the website of the Office
of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic in the United States! Here you
will find a wide range of information about the Nagorno Karabakh Republic
(also known as Artsakh) and its official representation in the United
States. The Nagorno Karabakh Republic (NKR) established its independence
in 1991 during the breakup of the former Soviet Union. Since then NKR
has worked diligently to strengthen its democratic institutions and
build a sound market economy. One of the youngest countries in the world,
NKR is looking forward to formal international recognition of its independence.
In the Country
Profile section you will find general information on Nagorno Karabakh
that is helpful for research, business or travel.
Business opportunities await investors and entrepreneurs
in Artsakh, a land known for its fertile soil, ecologically pure products,
and skilled, intelligent people. For centuries, Artsakh has been proud
of its world-famous merchants, businessmen and benefactors. Your support
will help us restore that reputation. Please see the NKR
Prime Minister's letter.
The Nagorno
Karabakh conflict page provides factual information on the historic
background, developments since 1988, current events and key issues.
It also offers expert opinions, analysis and recommendations on how
to advance the long overdue resolution to the conflict with Azerbaijan.
An update on humanitarian
needs, a direct consequence of the Azerbaijani-imposed war, is also
available.
Learn about the NKR
Defense Army, the main guarantor of our peace and independence.
Established to defend the lives of the Nagorno Karabakh people, our
freedom, our way of life and the land of Artsakh, the NKR Defense Army
is also a critical component of regional stability in the South Caucasus.
The NKR Minister of Defense welcomes you to our Web site!
The Foreign Policy page provides a link to the NKR
Foreign Ministry for in-depth information on Nagorno Karabakh as
well as developments in the region. Refer to the official
position of the NKR Government on issues of great importance to
the Nagorno Karabakh Republic and the region. Our Web site provides
opportunities for you to join in our efforts - check out the Friends
of Artsakh section and see how you can help advance these goals.
Artsakh is open to the world - we are eager to learn
from you and to share our experience as well. We invite you to come
and explore Artsakh, where every inch of land is rich with the ancient
and recent history of a freedom-loving people. Travel
information is available and provides updates on visa, transport,
hotel and other relevant material.
We welcome your ideas on how we can encourage the
American people to learn more, get involved and establish closer links
with Nagorno Karabakh.
I hope you will find this Web site useful. Please
do not hesitate to share your comments with us.
Sincerely,
Vardan Barseghian
NKR Representative in the United States
