American people, I extend my warmest wishes to the people of Armenia
as you celebrate your Independence Day on September 21.
The United States and Armenia have a strong relationship based on
historic ties and mutual respect. I am proud and grateful for the
enduring friendship of many in the Armenian community. As someone
who for three decades represented Massachusetts, which boasts one
of the largest populations of Armenians outside of Armenia, I have
special firsthand knowledge of the contributions that you have made
to America's culture, democracy and economic vitality.
Today our two countries are working together on a dynamic bilateral
and regional agenda. Through forums such as the U.S.-Armenia Economic
Task Force, we look forward to further strengthening the economic
and commercial bonds between our peoples.
I wish all Armenians a joyful and prosperous Independence Day, with
peace and happiness in the coming year.
