Please accept my congratulations on the state holiday of the Russian Federation - Russia Day.

This significant holiday embodies the responsibility of the citizens of the Russian Federation for the future of their country, as well as the aspiration of the friendly Russian people to independently choose the path of development of the state.

I am convinced that the multifaceted ties between the peoples of the Republic of Armenia and the Russian Federation, as well as the mutual readiness for an open and constructive dialogue based on respect for each other's sovereignty and state interests, will continue to contribute to the strengthening of cooperation and the use of the full range of cooperation opportunities between our countries.

I wish you, dear Vladimir Vladimirovich, well-being and success in your state activities, and all the best and prosperity to the people of Russia."
