Patriarch Cyril of Moscow and All Russia issued a message of congratulations to Serzh Sargsyan, in connection with his reelection to the Office of the President of Armenia.

“The trust, which the [Armenian] people again demonstrated in you, attests to the high assessment of the work you have carried out in the office of the Head of State.   

In recent years, Armenia is traveling on the road of economic and social development. Also, a lot is done to strengthen stability in Transcaucasia. 

I would like to especially stress the good relations that are established between the Armenian nation and the peoples that are guided by the Russian Orthodox Church.  

Hoping that our constructive interaction will be ongoing, I wish you good health, God’s help, and success in [your] future work,” the address by the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia specifically states.
