May has always been a month of glorious battles of survival for our nation, which has been confirmed on the whole course of the 20th century thanks to feats of several generations, the culmination of which became liberation of Shoushi and the whole Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh).

This is our most favorable holiday, since we got an opportunity to restore our dignity and peace, it became the symbol of glorious victories and eternity of our nation.

This is the most valuable holiday for us, since it was reached thanks to the self-sacrifice and heroism of many representatives of the Armenian nation, giving the nation possibility for peaceful life.

This is the most obligatory holiday, since bowing down before the eternal memory of our soldiers and commanders who perished their lives during the war, we must realize their dream: a non-criminal Homeland, prospering state and safe nation.

Dear compatriots, again I congratulate you on the Victory and Peace Day, wishing you new victories for the sake of peace, prosperity and happiness."
