You have gone sightseeing and have been introduced to Armenian national traditions. I believe these days were days that you will never forget. Most of you are in Armenia for the first time, but I’m certain that you had the feeling that a person has when he or she sets foot on the homeland for the first time. I want to believe that you loved Armenia and will return. We will always welcome you. We love you and will wait for you.”
