"We extend greetings and blessings from the Mother See of Holy
Etchmiadzin to all our sons and daughters in Armenia, Artsakh and the
Diaspora, congratulating them on the festive occasion of Independence
Day of the Republic of Armenia.
A new page opened in our history on September 21, 1991 - a day blessed
by God, whose great sacred mystery will be celebrated and commemorated

Our people did not yield to the difficulties and sacrifices of the
liberation struggle for Artsakh, the earthquake and the blockade;
rather with one heart and one will defended the right to live free
without hesitation. We have passed through a difficult yet ascending
pathway on the journey to create our new life and new statehood,
a course which will become broader and brighter through the united
efforts, faith, devotion and love of our people.
We shall nurture each day of free Armenia, for the sake of the
development and prosperity of our Motherland, in the name of the
unified and glorious future for all Armenians.
We offer prayers and wishes to heaven, that the Lord protect the
Republic of Armenia under His Fatherly Right Hand, and keep our people
filled with grace and reinforced with faith, to live and work for
the love and glory of our homeland.
May the grace, love and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with us
and will all".
