Dear compatriots, sisters and brothers of Artsakh and Diaspora,
I warmly congratulate you on the occasion of Republic Day.
This day is sacred and precious for every Armenian. Every centimeter of our Homeland is priceless for us.
Today, when we face a threat of loss of our statehood, I want to reaffirm that protection of the borders of our homeland and ensurance of the state sovereignty is the collective and sacred duty of all of us. I am sure that we are able to pass on the happiness of having a free, independent and sovereign homeland to our generations.
In this difficult period for our statehood, we must keep our historical memory fresh, be proud of our past victories and achievements, and strive to inherit a homeland with inviolable borders to our children.
I am sure that we will find the way to internal solidarity and national reconciliation. We will be united by love for our homeland, our faith, our historical memory.
We will have a strong, modern state, Armenian Artsakh and united Armenian world.
God bless us all...
