Prime Minister Harper Salutes the Community on the Independence Day of Armenia

The Diocese of the Armenian Church of Canada is most pleased to
release thegreetings of the Right Honorable Stephen Harper in a
congratulatory letter from the office of the Prime Minister of Canada,
on the occasion of the 17thanniversary of the Independence of Armenia.

Speaking on the anniversary of the Independence, the Prime Minister
has once again reaffirmed Canada’s support for a "strong and free
Armenia." In his letter, he recognizes the vote for independence that
overwhelmingly favored "freedom and democracy" in September of
1991. Mr. Harper acknowledges that all Armenians throughout Canada and
the Diaspora "have celebrated this achievement and have stood firmly
with their homeland" in recognition of "the reality of an independent
Armenian state."

Our community in Canada has expressed the highest pride to be part of
this great nation.With freedom to create and enhance institutions of
common interest, our families and organizations have attained and
promoted individual well being, achieved significant growth and
prosperity for our community all across Canada.

We have always aspired to deepen bilateral cooperation between Canada
and Armenia. Canadian Armenian hopes can now also reach beyond our
shores and look forward to the future of "strengthening economic and
diplomatic ties between Canada and Armenia, in the years to come," as
expressed by the Right Honorable Stephen Harper.
