President Vahagn Khachaturyan took part in the start of the Pan-Armenian Winter Olympics and made the opening speech.
This event is of special importance for our people, as it unites Armenians around the world in the spirit of sports and competition.
The wonderful winter nature of Armenia and the beautiful mountainous places create the best environment for this sports holiday. Our country is proud to host Armenian athletes around the world who contribute to the development of Armenian sports traditions with their participation, as they are becoming a new impetus for further strengthening Armenia-Diaspora ties.
The Pan-Armenian Games are not only sports competitions, but also an important cultural event that contributes to the preservation and strengthening of our national identity. New friendships are created here, companies are being formed, the patrioticism is given.
It is especially gratifying to see the active participation of young athletes. You are our future, and your energy and devotion inspire us all.
The quantitative growth of delegations participating in the Pan-Armenian Olympic Games from the most remote countries of the planet is also inspiring.
Dear present, I wish all the participants a fair competition, the best results and unforgettable moments to all the participants.
Let this Olympic Games become one of the most famous pages in the history of Armenian sports. So, I declare the Pan-Armenian Winter Olympics open.
