RA Minister of Diaspora Hranush Hakobyan congratulated Varduhi Varderesyan on her birthday with flowers and a congratulatory message. The following is the congratulatory message in its entirety:

TO PEOPLE’S ARTIST OF THE USSR,

GREAT ARMENIAN,

TALENTED ARTIST,

MRS. VARDUHI VARDERESYAN

Dear Mrs. Varderesyan,

I cordially congratulate you on this beautiful occasion and wish you good health to live more than a hundred years.

You were only a little girl when you repatriated from Romania to your homeland, Armenia with the calling of your spirit and by taking a big step. You underwent many sufferings, but became a national value and a shining star in Armenian theater.

The strong potential of Armenians has had an irreplaceable mission in the preservation of the Armenian identity throughout the history of Armenian cinema and theater. You have been carrying out great activities with honor and great inspiration for decades, keeping the “eternal flame” of Armenian culture burning and marking an indelible trace in Armenian culture.

The classical is always modern, and it’s either recognized now or later. Everything about Varderesyan is remnant and eternal, and it’s like a place where beauty, kindness and sincerity prevail.

You are one of the great and talented actresses who has dedicated her entire life to theater with roles that emphasize the mental state, inspiration, disappointment, love and hatred, faith and despair, expectations, longing and admiration of a person. They serve as experience that can guide those who are able to learn from art.

For young actors starting their careers in theater, they serve as a brilliant lesson of mastering the art and set an example for those with the desire for perfection.

With your acting you brought to Armenian theater a new type, quality, charm and mastery. You stood out from the others and remained a brilliant individual and one of the most beloved actors.

I take pride in being your contemporary and to have opportunities to watch you perform with your charming voice.

Dear Mrs. Varderesyan, I congratulate you on your birthday with great feelings.

You deserve to be respected and endless rounds of applause. On your birthday, I would like to express my heartfelt words and praise you as an individual, your art and express my love, compassion and admiration for you.

You are loved in the Homeland and the Diaspora. You are one of the priceless treasures of the Armenian people.

I wish you good health, longevity and family happiness.

May God be with you and your family.

WITH LOVE,

HRANUSH HAKOBYAN
