Statement by Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion on Armenia
Independence Day
On behalf of the Liberal Party of Canada, I would like to extend my
best wishes to the Armenian community in Canada and around the world
as you celebrate Armenia Independence Day.
On September 21, 1991, Armenia asserted its full independence, opening
a new chapter in the rich history of this dynamic corner of the
world. Today we celebrate this important event and the vibrant culture
that Armenians have brought to the world.
Here in Canada we recognize this vibrancy in the photographs of Yousuf
Karsh, the films of Atom Egoyan, and in the delightful children's
songs written and sung by Raffi. Canadians of Armenian origin have
played a vital role in the evolution of our country and are an
important part of Canada's future.
Good relations between Canada and Armenia are also an important part
of Canada's future. Our two countries share many values and
aspirations and this occasion provides us with an excellent
opportunity to celebrate our friendship.
On behalf of my Liberal colleagues, Happy Independence Day!
