California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger congratulated Armenian
Independence. The Governor’s message says, in part:

"I am pleased to extend my warmest greetings to all those commemorating
the anniversary of the Independence of Armenia. It is always a special
occasion when a people gather to rejoice in their heritage, and I am
privileged to join with the Armenian-American community on this day
of celebration. You enrich our nation – and especially our state –
through your hard work, spirit of service and wonderful blend of
cultural traditions. Thank you for your contributions to California’s
unique and ever-growing diversity.

In honoring our own ancestries, we not only come to a better
understanding of ourselves, but we also gain a greater appreciation
for the breadth of cultures and customs that make up our Golden State.

On behalf of all Californians, please accept my best wishes for a
meaningful celebration and every future success."
