The Catholicos of All Armenians Karekin II on Tuesday issued a message on the occasion of Knowledge Day.

“Our people have a special love and aspiration toward education, and harbor a great respect and esteem toward teachers and educators.

“Our institutions of education have a primary role in the progress and development of our country, the establishment of a good life for our people.

“It is our common mission to craft the honest, patriotic and faithful picture of our children, strengthen the responsibility in them toward the future, and strengthen the commitment to multiply and use the God-given gifts for the benefit of our country and people,” the Catholicos’ message specifically reads.
