Alen Simonyan: Peace Strengthens Our Independence

Congratulatory message from the President of the National Assembly Alen Simonyan on the 35th anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence of Armenia:

Dear compatriots, on August 23, 1990, the Supreme Council of the Armenian SSR adopted the Declaration of Independence of Armenia. On that day, the Armenian people reaffirmed their right to live freely and to determine their own destiny.

The path to independence has not been easy. Recent events, however, have opened new historical opportunities for our state, further strengthening the independence and sovereignty of the Republic of Armenia.

Today, more than ever, we realize the value of our independence and sovereignty. It is peace that strengthens our independence, gives us the opportunity to develop our country, and ensures a dignified life for our citizens. Now we are not only independent, but also peaceful, thanks, of course, to the wise decisions of our people.

Dear compatriots, I congratulate you on the 35th anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence of Armenia. May our independence and peace be eternal, ensuring a prosperous and safe life for our citizens.
