/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenia’s president Serzh Sargsyan congratulated
the Armenia people on the 19th Anniversary of the Declaration
of Independence, press office of the RA president reports. His
congratulatory message particularly says: "Nineteen years ago on
this day, the Supreme Council of Armenia adopted the Declaration
of Independence, which became a historic and guiding document for
the future of our country. It embodied the will of the people, who
went through immeasurable sufferings, who paved their way in history
with the cross, letters and sweat, and when necessary – also with
the sword. It embodied the resolve of the people to build their own
country on their own land.

The Declaration of Independence was received by the entire Armenian
nation with great fervor since it was called upon to turn the centuries
long Armenian dream of restoring independent statehood into reality.

With this document, which told the world the news of the political
freedom of the people of Armenia, we asserted our ascension, which our
Republic and our people have been pursuing steadfastly all these years,
remaining faithful to the principles enshrined in the Declaration.

I cordially congratulate us all on the Anniversary of the Declaration
of Independence and wish you all the best".
