Soldiers, officers and generals of the Artsakh Republic Defense Army,

I cordially congratulate you on the Victory Holiday, the Day of the NKR Defense Army and the Liberation of Shoushi.

May 9 has become one of the dearest and cherished holidays for us. It symbolizes unshakeable will and victorious soul of our freedom-loving nation, selfless devotion and loyalty to our Motherland and, of course, faith in victory of goodness and kindness.
The conspicuous evidence of has been heroism of our fathers and grandfathers during in the course of the Great Patriotic War. Together with other nations struggling against fascism, the brown plague of the XX century, they saved the whole mankind from destruction.

Years later, when Artsakh found itself in the thick of the imposed war, the generations brought up by their heroic example proved to be worthy descendants of their ancestors and registered victories in the struggle of life and death. It was first of all the birth of the Defense Army, regular and efficient army, which today is the main guarantor of our independence and security. It was the liberation of Shoushi that became one of the glorious victories of our people. It was also the unity and cohesion of our nation that managed to consolidate in the fatal hour and defend its freedom and independence.

The best sons of the Armenian people sacrificed their lives to achieve these victories. Eternal honor and glory to the brave sons perished in the Great Patriotic and Artsakh Liberation Wars.

Dear compatriots,
I once again congratulate all of us on this glorious Triple Holiday and wish peace, robust health and new victories in different spheres of life.”
