congratulated Armenian people on Independence Day.
The statement says, "I am pleased to extend my warmest greetings
to all those commemorating the anniversary of the Independence of
Armenia. It is always a special occasion when a people gather to
rejoice in their heritage, and I am privileged to join with the
Armenian-American community on this day of celebration. You enrich
our nation - and especially our state - through your hard work, spirit
of service and wonderful blend of cultural traditions. Thank you for
your contributions to California's unique and ever-growing diversity.
In honoring our own ancestries, we not only come to a better
understanding of ourselves, but we also gain a greater appreciation
for the breadth of cultures and customs that make up our Golden
State. On behalf of all Californians, please accept my best wishes
for a meaningful celebration and every future success."
