The Government of the Republic of Armenia

With deep sorrow I learned of the passing of our great compatriot Kirk Kerkorian.

Invaluable is the role played by RA National Hero, great American-Armenian businessman Kirk Kerkorian in the development of the newly independent Armenia.

With his large-scale humanitarian programs he went a long way toward bringing prosperity and development to our country and leaving an indelible mark in the history of Armenia.

Kirk Kerkorian’s services to Motherland, his patriotic and pro-Armenian activities will set an example and inspire the future generations.

I extend my deepest condolences to Kirk Kerkorian’s family, friends and close relatives on our great compatriot’s death.
