Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan sent a congratulatory message on the International Day of Labor and Workers' Solidarity. It says:
"Dear citizens of the Republic of Armenia, today we celebrate Labor Day.
On this holiday, I want to let you know that work and education are the keys to solving all our problems. Again, I cannot separate work from education because, without it, it is impossible to get an education and work without knowledge is just suffering, often without the desired result.
Knowledge-based work is progress, education, efficiency, and creative pleasure. The economic success we have today is based on this principle. Based on this principle, hundreds of thousands of workers and entrepreneurs ensure the impressive revenues of the state budget of the Republic of Armenia; they are the ones who increase respect for work and education, proving that thanks to knowledge-based work, incredible success can be achieved.
Work-based on knowledge and knowledge reinforced by position and experience. This principle should make our economy, army, diplomacy, educational system, and state modern and competitive. Moreover, emphasizing the establishment of standards in many fields, we do not consider the standardization of valuable knowledge because the army needs the necessary expertise for the job, the locksmith needs it, the diplomat needs it, and the military needs it. But it is clear and indisputable that only knowledge-based work can bring development and progress.
And so, I congratulate all of us on Labor Day and thank all those who raise Armenia with their work.
I especially congratulate and welcome those foreigners who have chosen our country as a place of work and economic activity. You are welcome."
