Alen Simonyan's congratulatory message on the 33rd anniversary of the formation of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia.
"Dear compatriots, gentlemen officers, and, of course, our very beloved servicemen,
I congratulate all of us on the 33rd anniversary of the Army of the Republic of Armenia.
Since the establishment of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia, our army has faced various challenges and is now undergoing development and reforms. It is not easy, but our government has done everything to ensure that Armenia has a modern, strong, and combat-ready army that will guarantee our state's independence, security, and sovereignty.
I express special gratitude to all the servicemen standing at our borders now. Thanks to them, we are able to live and create peace in our country. I wish them good service under a peaceful sky.
I bow to the memory of our army's immortal, brave men, thanks to whom the Republic of Armenia stands.
Glory to the Armenian Army."
