The NA President’s congratulatory message reads:

“Dear Mr Shakaryan, I congratulate you on the occasion of your jubilee, 80^th birthday anniversary.

Your music has confidently and with dignity paved its path and has occupied its firm place in the record library, which is not only in the repertoire of the Armenian different jazz groups and orchestras or on the CD, but it is in the memory and soul of the very art lover.

In your works you have merged our national music into the internationally accepted perceptions of jazz, creating your unique type, which is once and for all summed up in the pages of the Armenian jazz.

The continuous energy, which today is with you, gives hope to the music lovers for expecting new ideas and new works.

I wish you health, optimism and longevity.”
