I heartily congratulate you and the friendly people of Syria on the national holiday of the Syrian Arab Republic.
The Armenian-Syrian friendship, coming from the depths of centuries and strengthened by historical trials, is the foundation on which the fraternal relations of the two countries continue to develop.
I am convinced that Syria has enough strength and resilience to overcome the consequences of the devastating earthquake and other challenges the country is facing.
I want to confirm our readiness to contribute and support the Syrian reconstruction process in this challenging period for Syria.
I wish you good health, success, and the friendly people of Syria, lasting peace and prosperity."
