sent a congratulatory address on the occasion of the 19th anniversary
of the Declaration of Armenia’s Independence. The address which was

"19 years ago this day, the Supreme Council of Armenia adopted the
Declaration of Independence, which was a historic and guiding document
for the future of our country. It was the will of the people who went
through immeasurable sufferings, who paved its way in the history
with the cross, writings 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 whole Armenian
nation with great enthusiasm, as it was called upon to realize the
centuries-old Armenian dream of restoring independent statehood.
With this document which told the world the news of the political
freedom of the people of Armenia we declared our way of ascent in
which our Republic and our nation have been pursuing during the last
years being faithful to principles stipulated in the Declaration.
I cordially congratulate you on the occasion of the anniversary of
the Declaration of Independence and wish you prosperity."
