"Dear compatriots, on the eve of 2025, for the first time in 3 years, I have the opportunity to send you a word of congratulations and good wishes in the conditions of freedom. For the last few years, the Armenian people have been welcoming the new year with a wounded heart. COVID, war, geopolitical explosive situation.
All this can throw off the balance and deviate from the orbit of development, but on this bright day, I want to believe and instill faith in every Armenian in every corner of the world, that unity can keep us afloat in storms, and the guarantee of strength is the preservation of the national value system, loyalty to historical memory and restoration of justice. .
Dear citizens of Vanadzor, I want 2025 to be a year of restoration of hope and faith in the future. My heart and soul continue to be with each of you.
I am sure that we will overcome the difficult days thanks to the devotees, in whom lives the indomitable spirit of Armenians, we will overcome them with national dignity and the willingness to rebuild the state with the overstretching of forces.
I bow before the immortal memory of the heroes who fell for the motherland.
God bless all the brave men standing on the border guarding our peaceful sleep.
We have no right to weaken, for the sake of the Republic of Armenia, for the sake of the continuity of the Armenian people and for the sake of life.
Dear citizens of Vanadzor, I once again congratulate you on the New Year and Christmas holidays. May the New Year bring love, happiness, justice, well-being and dignified peace to everyone's families.
