Dear friends, acquaintances, and kind strangers,

As you may know, my father has taken the path to eternity at the age of 96. He lived a long, dignified life filled with love, wisdom, and strength.

Over these past few days, I especially feel how important it is to have people around you who share in your sorrow and grief. I am deeply grateful to everyone for support, care, and warmth during this time.

I’m deeply grateful to the tens of thousands of people who reached out with kind words and condolences — whether in person or from afar.

I am also thankful for the countless calls and messages of sympathy we received from Armenia, the Diaspora, and abroad.

Your love and presence truly help us to cope with the pain of this loss.

May God watch over you all.
