“I am certain that in the year marking the Centennial of the Armenian Genocide and in the future you will overcome all difficulties and will win the propaganda war with honor and triumph as you continue to shed light on the issues of pan-national significance at a high level. I am confident that you will consistently present the issues of national concern by publishing materials devoted to the rich history, heritage and values of Armenia, Artsakh, the Diaspora and the Armenian people.”

In his letters addressed to the leaders of “Trchnots Bouyn” and “Zvartnots”, the RA President praised the dedicated and pro-Armenian efforts of the educators for the educational and physical development of Armenian children and youth and for the improvement of their state of mind. The President assured that “the Homeland is always by your side and proudly follows your successes.”
