Dear veterans,
Dear compatriots,

I congratulate you on the Day of Victory and Peace.
The triumphant end of the Great Patriotic War was an exceptional event
in the life of our people. All parts of the Armenian nation had their
contribution to bringing this victory closer, participating in the army
of the allies, the resistance movements and especially in the ranks of
the Soviet Army. The victory achieved at the cost of great sacrifices
opened new horizons not only for curing the wounds but also developing
our country. Contemporary Armenia is the continuation of the republic
that was saved and prospered due to the feats of those who shaped this
victory.

From 1992 May 9 acquired a dual meaning for us. The liberation of
Shoushi proved to the new generation that it is the worthy successor of
the heroic past of the predecessors. Shoushi became the symbol of
freedom-loving and strong will of our people.

On this festive with day we remember those who sacrificed their life
for the motherland with great pain, but also with pride. We shall
always keep bright the memory of our heroes.

Congratulating on this double May holiday, I wish all of us a peaceful
sky and deeds worthy of our historical victories.
