The people of the United States join the people of Armenia in
celebrating Armenia’s day of independence today. We deeply value
the many cultural and historic ties that bind our two countries. The
United States gains strength as a nation from the contributions of
so many Americans of Armenian ancestry. We congratulate the people
of Armenia on their national day.
