Congratulations

Dear principals and teachers of Armenian schools in the Diaspora, parents and students, my exceptional Armenians, I cordially congratulate you on the beginning of the new academic year and wish you an interesting school year with many achievements.

I would also like to congratulate and express my gratitude to all teachers of Diaspora Armenian schools for taking on the responsibility of preserving the Armenian identity and transmitting Armenian national values.

In a continuously developing world, I truly place more importance to knowledge and education, which have been the light of mind and soul and the condition for the advancement and strengthening of mankind for all times.

Dear schoolchildren, first and foremost, you need to know your native language, culture and history, be proud of our rich history which is a part of civilization of mankind and always remember that Armenia is your Homeland. You must also remember that the future of the Homeland must be created through devoted youth of Armenia and the Diaspora, their minds, talent and creativity.

My dear boys and girls, no matter what you become, remember that your future is in Armenia and your Mother Homeland is the Republic of Armenia which is developing day after day.

Armenia is yours and you are part of Armenia.
