RA Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan’s Congratulations Message on 50th Birthday Anniversary of His Eminence Sepuh Chuljyan, Primate of Gugaratz Diocese
Eminence,
Please accept my heartfelt congratulations on your 50th birthday anniversary.
In office as primate of Gugaratz Diocese for over a decade, you have fully dedicated yourself to the cause of managing the spiritual and religious life of your diocese. Upholding the best traditions inherent in the attendants of the Armenian Church, you continue giving up all tour time and energy to Christian education-oriented and welfare-aimed undertakings on a daily basis. Spirituality and faith are rightfully believed to be at the heart of our vital energy. Our people’s spiritual character, their ethnic way of thinking and collective ideology stem from spiritual sources and, in this respect, your patriotic undertakings constitute a tangible contribution to the drive for preservation of the national identity.
Valuable is your contribution to the cause of strengthening the State-Church relationship.
Eminence,
Congratulating you once again on your birthday anniversary, I remain hopeful that your future activity as well will be marked by new God-pleasing and highly efficacious undertakings.
