    PRESIDENT SERZH SARGSYAN ADDRESSES A CONGRATULATORY MESSAGE ON THE
    OCCASION OF NEW YEAR

    YEREVAN, JANUARY 1, ARMENPRESS: President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan
    addressed a congratulatory message on the occasion of New
    Year. Presidential press service told Armenpress that in his message
    the President of the country said;
    `In a few minutes we will together celebrate the arrival of the New
    Year. We are turning yet another page of the history of independent
    Armenia, which was full of achievements and inspiring episodes as well
    as complex events and tough situations. Year 2008 was a year of
    changes, a year of making difficult and responsible decisions; our
    country and our people were compelled to face the most serious
    problems and a number of challenges.
    First, it was the elections and political turmoil that became a
    serious challenge for our country. The next challenge was the abrupt
    rise of international prices for the most vital products. This was
    followed by active military actions in the neighboring state which
    disrupted the operability of the most important transportation
    routs. The final part of the year was marked by the necessity to
    mitigate the consequences of the global and financial crises. We are
    emerging from these tremulous times with the stability that many
    countries would wish to have, with the amplified enthusiasm, and a
    stronger will. We have many problems and we are ready for new
    decisions.
    The foreign policy of the Republic of Armenia has become noticeably
    more active in the year of the Artsakh's 20th anniversary of
    independence. The reforms have been carried on acquiring new impulses
    in the areas of police, tax and customs administration, education, and
    health care. The Iran-Armenia gas pipeline was completed. Twenty years
    after the devastating earthquake in Spitak we reinforced our programs
    for providing housing to all families which lost shelter.
    The passing year has been a year of spirited cultural events and
    major sporting achievements, a period of observable manifestations for
    Armenia-Artsakh-Diaspora triple union and a period of new ideas for
    bringing closer the world-spread Armenians over the notion of the
    Armenian identity. It's been also a year of initiating ambitious,
    unprecedented in their scope and significance national economic
    projects, which proves once again that we can and we will make
    flourish our home ` Armenia.
    Dear Compatriots,
    New Year is a holiday of expectations. At this moment, around the
    festive tables, we expect that the coming year will be special in the
    lives of our families and friends.
    We are all united by simple and human desires. We all wish the
    coming year to be peaceful and productive, we wish that our sons, who
    guard our borders, return home safe and sound, we wish our children to
    study well, we wish husbands, who are earning living abroad, come
    back, and we wish that warmth and happiness reign in our families. We
    wish our parents good health and joy.
    We celebrate New Year surrounded by our families. Let us wish all
    the best to those who are fulfilling their duty on their working
    places, to those who at this moment are saving lives, or upholding our
    security.
    New Year is a holiday of kindness. I sincerely wish that there is
    more kindness in our homes, I wish for the next year to be a year of
    love and unity, and I wish troubles and worries of the last year are
    left behind. We have plenty to do in 2009. Let us believe that we will
    succeed together, standing shoulder to shoulder.
    Dear Compatriots, brothers and sisters,
    New Year is also a holiday of hope and faith. During these festive
    days the current problems leave us for a while and the perpetual
    values acquire a new meaning. We wish our families and friends good
    health, success, and happiness. I am sending you the same good wishes,
    trusting that all our good wishes will become true.
    Rest assured that everything will be fine.
    Happy New Year and Merry Christmas!'
