Speaker of the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia Mr Hovik
Abrahamyan congratulated on the occasion of the 15th anniversary of
the currency issuance of the Republic of Armenia:

"After the restoration of the statehood and establishment of the
symbols of the statehood – flag, coat of arms, anthem one of the
decisive and important steps of the establishment of the economic
independence of the Republic of Armenia was the transition to the
Armenian Dram. Today, the dram having 15-year history has become a
stable and reliable national currency, facing the numerous experiences
and challenges of the past years and overcoming them with honour. Being
one of the components of the history of the newly independent Armenia
the Armenian Dram today has become an inseparable part of our daily
life.

The transition to Armenian Dram created opportunities for the
establishment of the financial-banking system and development of
the economy. Day by day the Armenian national currency becomes more
reliable and stable even in the conditions of the world financial
crisis.

On the occasion of the 15th anniversary of the Dram issuance of
the Republic of Armenia I congratulate the employees of the banking
system of the republic and wish all of them effective work for the
strengthening of the Republic of Armenia."
