YEREVAN, AUGUST 24, ARMENPRESS. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has sent a congratulatory message to President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky on the Ukrainian Independence Day.

“Please accept my warmest congratulations and sincere good wishes on the occasion of Ukraine’s National Day, the Independence Day,” Pashinyan said in the letter.

“I am convinced that through coherent efforts you will succeed in realizing all programs directed for Ukraine’s development and strengthening. Significant potential exists in the friendly relationship of Armenia and Ukraine, and its utilization stems from our peoples’ interests. I am sure that through joint efforts we are capable of conveying new quality to the Armenian-Ukrainian multi-sectoral cooperation. On this occasion I attach importance also to the restart of the bilateral inter-governmental commission’s work.

The presence and activity of the many centuries-old large Armenian community in Ukraine and the organized Ukrainian community in Armenia are an additional impetus in the deepening of the bilateral friendly ties.

I wish you, dear Mr. Zelensky, good luck in all initiatives and all the best and to the good people of Ukraine peace and welfare”.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
