RA Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan’s Army Day Congratulations Message
Dear Compatriots, Army Commanders and Soldiers, I congratulate you warmly on the Army Day.
The Armenian Army can be listed among the key achievements of our sovereign statehood. The fighting spirit, warfare skills and patriotism of our armed forces are anchored on our people’s deeply-rooted aspiration to freedom, our military leaders’ glorious past record which was later on enriched with the Artsakhian freedom-fighters’ feats of arms and patriotism. Nowadays as the world faces new challenges threatening global peace, not only does the Armenian Army protect our State boundaries, but it also shares in international peacekeeping efforts with success.
I am confident that nationwide we will continue caring for and nurturing the Armenian Army – the main pledge of peace and security for our people – by keeping a sustained focus on the State’s army building agenda.
Once again, I wish you all peace and prosperity on the occasion of the 17th anniversary of the glorious Armenian Army.
