"Peacekeepers of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia,
Today you are carrying out your mission in both Kosovo and Iraq
with great honor and discipline and fighting spirit peculiar to the
Armenian soldier.
This is evidenced by the numerous letters of gratitude from the
Commanders of Polish, Greek and US divisions addressed to the
Commandership of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia.
The mission you carry out has become today one of the most essential
issues of the Armed Forces of our country. One cannot imagine a
conflict region on the globe where there would be no need for a
peacekeeping activity.
Your service has become the imperative of the time.
Until now you have kept high the reputation of the Armenian Armed
Forces, the honor of the Armenian soldier, and I’m sure you will
continue that way, will be an example of discipline and fighting
spirit for every foreign soldier.
Assuming the post of the Defense minister of the Republic of Armenia, I
greet all of you on the occasion of carrying out a hard but respected
mission.
I wish you health, patience and happy return to Motherland."
