Speaker of the National Assembly of Armenia Ararat Mirzoyan has sent a condolence message on the occasion of the death of Ruben Shugaryan. The message reads as follows:

“I was deeply saddened by the news about the premature death of Ruben Shugaryan, one of the top diplomats in the history of independent Armenia. I still have warm memories of our last meeting in Boston where he was living and lecturing at Tufts University.

Rest in peace. We Armenians lost not only a brilliant diplomat, but also an exemplary and principled citizen.”
