Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan of Armenia on Friday sent a condolence message to Prime Minister Liz Truss of the UK—on the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. The message reads as follows, in particular:

"The death of the Queen is a great pain and loss not only for the British people, the peoples of the Commonwealth of Nations, but also for the entire world community.

During her 70-year reign full of trials, Her Majesty, with her wisdom, prudence and benevolence, made an invaluable contribution to the development of the United Kingdom, as well as left an indelible mark in world history.

Even the historical disasters were not able to break the unbreakable will of Elizabeth II. Her bright image has always symbolized the harmonious interweaving of a strong statesman and motherhood, femininity, and traditions.

The Queen, embodying almost an entire era of history, will remain vivid in the memories of all of us.

At this difficult moment, the Armenian people pray together with the British people and share their pain and grief."
