Dear compatriots,

I congratulate you on the 26^th anniversary of the Independence of the Republic of Armenia.

26 years ago a new page opened in our history: we declared our self-sovereignty and independence. That decision changed not only the status of Armenia, but also the destiny, which unites all of us.

Having a state is an honour and an advantage, and with conscience, despite all difficulties and experiences, we could preserve the main value, the state independence. As a citizen, each of us is the owner of the state, and the owner always takes care and feels responsibility. It is important that all of us, being far and near, feel in our hearts the Armenian statehood, think about it, do our utmost for it and respect our country. We should believe in our own strength and look at the future with optimism.

Dear compatriots,

Your every pro-patriotic effort without exception is a support for building more strong and and more perfect state. We are able and we can do that keeping heads up, with faith and love towards the country.

I wish all of you health, peace and welfare.
