On the occasion of Independence Day, the congratulatory message of His Holiness Karekin II, the Patriarch of All Armenians, in particular, states: “Our responsibility towards the state cannot tolerate injustice and lawlessness, hatred and division, falsehood and deceit, but must lead our people to consensus and unity, so that we can find safe ways out of the current difficult situations. We must turn our love for the state into a zeal for revival, trust and care for each other, and commitment and dedication in every work and field. Independence Day is a message to remain faithful to the aspirations of national awakening, our values and sanctities, and to strengthen and develop our state.” On September 21, at the end of the liturgy in the Mother Cathedral of St. Etchmiadzin, a ceremony of Republican wishes was also held.
