Below is the full statement published by his office.
“Dear compatriots, officers, and our beloved servicemembers,
I congratulate all of us on the 34th anniversary of the formation of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia.
Gone are the days when the army was seen only in the context of war. Today, recognizing the important mission of our armed forces, we see it as a key pillar for maintaining peace, strengthening statehood, and advancing society. By developing it, we can move forward to build a secure, just, and democratic Armenia.
Once again, we bow in memory of our soldiers who fell in the line of duty and express our gratitude to all those who, through their service, strengthen our country’s security and future.
Glory to the Armenian Army! Long live a free, independent, and sovereign Republic of Armenia!”
