Dear Mr. Hakobyan,
Dear Colleagues,
Respected National Security System Staff,
Dear Veterans,
On behalf of the Government of the Republic of Armenia and on my own behalf, I wish to congratulate you on your professional holiday - National Security Serviceman’s Day.
This holiday day unites all those who consider the service in the national security authorities as their sacred duty before the country and the people. The National Security Service is the pledge for our nation’s safe existence.
After the declaration of Armenia’s independence, the role and the social perception of the National Security Service was reconsidered to include the protection of citizens’ constitutional rights in addition to national security-related tasks. It is one of the most important elements of our national security, which is consistent with the ongoing large-scale democratic processes in our country.
The public’s trust in the Service is the best guarantee for effective operations. It is my pleasure to note that Armenia’s National Security Service has for years honored the tasks set before it by responding in a timely manner to internal and external threats and various challenges arising from the rapidly changing geopolitical situation.
I am confident that the wealth of experience and the professional skills you have mastered will henceforth be used in the best interest of the Republic of Armenia to consolidate and further strengthen our statehood.
The Government of the Republic of Armenia has always kept in focus your welfare problems and will continue to improve them ahead.
Reiterating my congratulations, I wish your families and you much happiness, well-being and every success in your patriotic activities for the sake of our homeland’s safe existence,
