Dear Mr. Shkhrdemian,.

I cordially congratulate you and the entire staff on the first anniversary of Yerepouni Armenian independent newspaper.

Throughout its short existence, the newspaper has not only become a success, but has been able to provide all Armenians with impartial and objective news, accomplishing its major mission to preserve the Armenian identity.

Every Armenian language newspaper, especially newspapers in Western Armenia or Classic Armenian serve as a small “oasis” for the preservation of the Armenian identity in the Armenian communities of the Diaspora.

As a former correspondent of “Ararat” Daily, you have shared your skills and experience and have been devoted to the Yerepouni Daily, thanks to which your readers receive impartial information. The newspaper has its place in Armenian media, and that is due to your releases, as well as your interviews and the interviews given to other media outlets.

On the Internet, the staff at the newspaper has been able to differentiate between right and wrong, to refrain from extreme positions and has provided unbiased information to serve for the rapprochement of Homeland-Diaspora relations and the consolidation of all Armenians around the world.

May Yerepouni-news.com achieve more success and help implement programs for the strengthening of the Homeland-Diaspora partnership in the years to come.

I wish the newly created Yerepouni independent daily success.

WITH RESPECT,

HRANUSH HAKOBYAN
