The Catholicos of All Armenians thanked for the birthday wishes.
"Dear pious children of our homeland and diaspora, with a grateful heart we bring you our blessing and appreciation for the warm congratulations, sincere wishes and words of support sent to you on the occasion of our birthday. Gratitude and glory to the Heavenly One who gave us the grace to serve His Holy Church, our chosen nation and the Motherland, always having the support of our pious people, our clergy and benefactors. Armenians.
We are going through trials as a nation, but we are sure that with strong faith and unity we will be able to overcome all the hardships of life, relying on the scriptural truth:
"Blessed is the nation whose helper is the Lord God, blessed is the people whom he has chosen as his heritage" (Psalm 32:12). Our urgent request is to God to keep our native land peaceful and safe, to keep our native land bright, to bless our Holy Apostolic Church, to bless and grant progress and a gracious life to our people around the world. THE MOST ARMENIAN."
