President Vahagn Khachaturyan's congratulatory message on the occasion of the day of the formation of the army.

Dear compatriots,

Generals, officers and soldiers, service members and reservists of the Armenian Army,

The formation of the Armed Forces on January 28, 1992, was the crystallization of our people's cherished desires in the struggle for independence and sovereignty, which proved the right of the Republic of Armenia to exist.

For more than three decades, the Armed Forces have gone through a difficult path of establishment, along with the building of our statehood. In this way, the army has overcome many trials, won victories, and tasted the bitterness of losses. But in sum, our military has been and remains the most critical and reliable guarantor of the security and protection of our state, homeland, and citizens.
