Congratulatory address by NA Vice Speaker on Independence Day

NA Vice Speaker Samvel Balasanyan delivered a congratulatory address on the 20th anniversary of the Independence of the Republic of Armenia.

The address said:

“Dear compatriots,

I heartily congratulate you on the 20th anniversary of Independence. 21 years ago on August 23 the Supreme Council of Armenia adopted a Declaration of Independence paving the way for restoration of independent statehood which was confirmed a year later when the Armenian people said “yes” to independence on September 21, 1991. There are no words to describe the joy and happiness the whole Armenian people was filled with in these days. I am convinced that September 21 will remain in the history as one of the main holidays symbolizing national unity.

I once again congratulate all of us on this great holiday and wish prosperity and firm belief in a bright future of our statehood.”
