Armenia’s President Serzh Sargsyan sent a congratulatory message to
President Barack Obama of the United States on receiving the 2009
Nobel Peace Prize. The message reads:

"Dear Mr. President,

On behalf of the Armenian people and myself, I congratulate you on
the occasion of receiving the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize.

Armenia welcomes your efforts targeted at establishing trust,
stability, security and cooperation in the world. From the very
first day of your presidency you have been undertaking important
and daring initiatives, particularly those towards settlement of a
number of longstanding conflicts and launching a political dialogue
with different political forces.

We are confident that all the disagreements existing in the world
today can and should be solved through dialogue, since only the
solutions reached via dialogue suffice all parties and become stable
and enduring.

We attach importance to and appreciate the constructive activity of
the USA, as an OSCE Minsk Group co-chair country, targeted at the
settlement of the Karabakh conflict.

I extend my sincere gratitude for your and Secretary Clinton’s
consistent support to the process of normalization of relations between
Armenia and Turkey. I’m sure that without the resolute support of
the United States it would be impossible to take effective steps in
that direction.

I wish you every success in your activity for the sake of triumph
of universal values and establishment of international stability
and security.

Accept, please, Your Excellence, the assurance of my respect."
