“Dear Vladimir Vladimirovich,
I cordially congratulate you on the state holiday of the Russian Federation - Russia Day.
This significant day in the recent history of the Russian Federation is inextricably linked with its impressive achievements in the political, socio-economic, public life, profound transformations, and its role and prestige in the international arena.
I note with satisfaction that the Armenian-Russian cooperation is developing confidently in all directions. The friendly nature of cooperation between Armenia and Russia is always been reflected on both bilateral and integration units as well as within other multilateral platforms.
I am convinced that the future-oriented Armenian-Russian allied relations, which are anchored in the age-old friendship of the brotherly peoples of our countries, will continue to predetermine the joint steps of Yerevan and Moscow in favor of the development of our states and strengthening stability and security in the South Caucasus.
I wish you good health and prosperity and the people of Russia peace and prosperity.”
