YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 21, ARMENPRESS: Dear Compatriots, I congratulate you
on the 15th anniversary of independence of the Republic of Armenia. The
Day of Independence is the brightest and most important day on our
State holiday calendar. It marks the realization of our people's most
cherished hopes and national pride after a gap of 600 years.
Fifteen years ago, having adopted this historical decision and having
won the right to free and independent life, our people was well aware
of all the hardships and barriers on this way, however, they were
sure that independence had no alternative and that thereby they were
given the opportunity to control their destiny, to determine their
own course, place and role among several other States of the world.
By founding an independent State on a portion of historical homeland in
1991, the people of Armenia initiated an irreversible and ever-lasting
process.
While acknowledging independence as an absolute value and celebrating
the Day of Independence, we should not forget that this has been
possible due to decades-long heroic struggle waged by the devotees of
independence and was aimed at keeping up the freedom-loving spirit in
the hearts of new generations so as to take it to the long-awaited day
of independence. Let us pay a well-deserved tribute to all the devotees
of independence and, especially, to those who sacrificed their lives
to this end and leaved to future generations the duty of preserving it.
It is not fortuitous that we are celebrating the 15th anniversary
of independence together with thousands of our compatriots who have
arrived in Armenia from all over the world, driven by the desire of
being of some service to Homeland. Let us congratulate each other
on this significant to all of us day and wish lasting peace for our
State, as well as - dignified life, prosperity and realization of
long-cherished expectations - to our people.
I am confident that the people of Armenia will have enough will and
ability to join their efforts with the view of resisting to challenges
and keep on the 15-year-long march of independence with steady belief
in the future of the Armenian State.
