Dear compatriots!
I congratulate you on May 9, on the occasion of Victory and Peace Day.
This holiday is the symbol of the victories of the Armenian people,
who fought for living in peace and creating, for identity and
long living. During the Great Patriotic War the Armenian people
conscientiously took part fighting against evil not getting recovered
from the wound of the Armenian Genocide. The Armenian soldiers passed
through the turmoil of World War II and had their contribution in
destructing the Nazism, getting the selfless support of those who
stayed in the rear.
Nowadays the wreath of the past victories is the capture of Shushi and
liberation of Artsakh. That war was imposed on the Armenian people. We
stood for our freedom and identity, prevented the danger of genocide
hung over the head of the Artsakh Armenians and saved from destruction
the rich cultural heritage of Artsakh. Our victory in this war once
again proved the Armenian freedom loving spirit, pride and longevity
of resoluteness that pass from generation to generation.
Glory and honour to the Armenian courageous sons, who fought and won
for the liberation of the Motherland, for today's peace, immortality
to the Armenian martyrs, who gave their lives for the Fatherland.
I congratulate the Armenian people, who deserved the right to live
in peace, on the occasion of this holiday. I wish them new successes,
creative urge and achievements, welfare and happiness.
