President of the United Armenian Fund, Senior Vice President of the Lincy Foundation Harut Sassounian has extended congratulations to Serzh Sargsyan on his election as President of the Republic of Armenia. The congratulatory message states in part:
"Your Excellency President-Elect Serzh Sargsyan,
I would like to congratulate you upon your election as Armenia's 3rd President.
Given your long years of service in various leadership positions, great achievements are expected from you for the benefit of the Armenian nation.
I hope you would establish the position of Minister for Diaspora Relations and expedite the adoption of a law on dual citizens, in line with the recently adopted constitution, so that all Armenians worldwide can contribute to the creation of prosperous homeland. Armenia and the Diaspora working hand in hand can accomplish much more than separately.
You can count on the support of all Armenians in carrying out your patriotic duties.
Once again, congratulations on your victory."
