Today, in the face of serious security challenges facing our state, the further strengthening of our army is imperative. This is stated in the message of the Catholicos of All Armenians, Karekin II, on the occasion of Army Day.

“The role and contribution of the Armenian Army in the sacred cause of protecting our newly independent statehood and the rights of our people is invaluable.

Today, in the face of serious security challenges facing our state, the further strengthening of our army is imperative so that our military continue the sacred mission of defending the homeland with high combat readiness and their unwavering spirit.

The solid foundation of the brave service and feats of the military has always been and will remain love and zeal for the homeland, loyalty to national values,” the message reads, in particular.
