Independence Day of Armenia today
Posted by Online on Sep 21st, 2012
Manila, Philippines - Today is the Independence Day of Armenia, which
commemorates its freedom in 1991.
It has a population of 3.2 million people. Its capital and largest
city is Yerevan.
Located at an intersection of Western Asia and Eastern Europe, Armenia
is a landlocked country bordered to the west by Turkey, to the north
by Georgia, to the east by Azerbaijan, and to the south by Iran and
the Nakhchivan exclave of Azerbaijan.
Armenia is a member of numerous international organizations, including
the United Nations, the Council of Europe, the Asian Development Bank,
the Commonwealth of Independent States, the World Trade Organization,
and the Organization of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation.
The economy of Armenia is heavily dependent on remittances by
Armenians working abroad. Agriculture remains an important economic
sector, accounting for 40% of the country's employment. The country
also produces copper, gold, zinc, and lead.
We greet the people and government of Armenia led by Their
Excellencies, President Serzh Azati Sargsyan, Prime Minister Tigran
Sargsyan, Minister of Foreign Affairs Eduard Nalbandian, Minister of
Justice Hrayr Tovmasian, and its Consulate in the Philippines led by
Consul Jose M. Periquet, Jr., on the occasion of its Independence Day.
CONGRATULATIONS AND MABUHAY!
