THE MESSAGE OF BLESSING OF THE CATHOLICOS OF ALL ARMENIANS
ON THE 15TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE ARMED FORCES
OF THE REPUBLIC OF ARMENIA
We extend our Pontifical Blessings and congratulations from the Mother See
of Holy Etchmiadzin to the officers and soldiers of the Armenian Armed
Forces and all Armenians throughout the world on the occasion of Armed
Forces Day and the 15th Anniversary of the Armenian Army.
Our army was born and shaped from the heroic struggle for the homeland, and
secured victories by means of its courageous and invincible spirit, through
which Artsakh was liberated and peace was established on the borders of
Armenia.
We offer thanks to God, that our armed forces, greater reinforced and
strengthened, continue their vigilant service for the homeland, and bequeath
patriotism, devotion, and examples of faithfulness and valor to future
generations, through which heroic pages were etched in our history fifteen
years ago.  Today, the Armenian Armed Forces, recognized as well prepared
and highly able, bring their commendable participation as well to
peacekeeping missions of international forces.
On this festive and memorable day, we pray for those brave Armenian souls
who sacrificed their lives for their love of homeland - for their love and
freedom and peace.  We appeal to the Almighty in heaven to keep our officers
and soldiers under His grace and blessing, granting them long and happy
lives and successes in their service to our country.  May the Lord grant
reconciliation to the entire world, keep and protect our native land of
Armenia and Artsakh and our beloved people dispersed throughout the world in
peace and security.
May the valiant memories and faithful spirit of the Armenian Army live
forever.
With Blessings,
KAREKIN II
