The RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan sent a congratulatory message to the Catholicos of All Armenians Garegin II on the occasion of his birthday. The message says:
"Your Holiness Garegin II,
Catholicos of All Armenians,
Please accept my warmest congratulations on your birthday.
I wish you good health, fruitful life and fruitful activity in your high position as the Head of the Armenian Apostolic Church.
The Armenian Apostolic Holy Church is one of the most important institutions of our people, one of the pillars of our national consciousness, which was created and established as a national spiritual structure due to the decisions made at the state level.
These decisions are turning points in the history of the Armenian people, because during the decline of statehood, the Armenian Apostolic Church became the center of our identity, the church communities kept and preserved the dream and aspiration of our people to have a state again, and our statehood today is the realization of that dream.
Therefore, it is the duty of all of us to preserve and strengthen that dream, to contribute to its strengthening, but all this will not be possible without faith. This is also the mission of Your Holiness to strengthen the citizens' faith in God, statehood, national values, their own strength and future, to encourage the protection of rights and the fulfillment of responsibilities.
May God always give you the strength to accomplish this lofty mission.
With sonly respect,
Nikol Pashinyan".
