>From the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin, our sacred sanctuary
established by Christ, We extend Our Pontifical blessings and
congratulations to the brave officers and soldiers of the Armenian
Armed Forces, and all Armenians throughout the world on the occasion
of Armed Forces Day.
The Armenian army; formed and strengthened in war battles, is the
pride of our nation, that during this critical period in our history,
achieved great victories with a patriotic heart and courageous spirit
for the sake of the free and peaceful life of our people in Armenia
and Artsakh.
Also today our state borders are safe through the vigilant service of
the Armenian army. Thanks to the dedication and courage of the
faithful souls of our soldiers and commanders, the provocation and
danger impeding peaceful and normal life for our people, are
prevented.
We raise our prayers to the Almighty God that He receives the souls of
our fallen heroes into peaceful harbors and that He supports and
strengthens the officers and soldiers of the Armenian Army for the
love of their sacred calling of the homeland.
May our Lord Jesus Christ maintain our native land in peace and
tranquillity and grants a secure and prosperous life to our pious
people.
With blessings,
HIS HOLINESS KAREKIN II
