Congratulatory Address by President Serzh Sargsyan on the occasion of National Security officer’s day

Distinguished National Security Officers,

I congratulate you and the security system veterans on the occasion of your professional holiday. On behalf of our society and our State, I express gratitude to you for dedicated work and professionalism in protecting our country against disastrous evil deeds.

Unfortunately, over the past few recent decades, the situation in the region and worldwide was coupled with appalling encroachments, especially in terms of severe terrorist crimes. Under such circumstances, you were able to live up to the task of strengthening our statehood, enforcing the constitutional order and national security. You were able to keep abreast with the times in developing your activities.

In 2017, the National Security Service staff demonstrated the required skills in the exercise of their professional duties. Moreover, keeping full control over the situation, the NSS agencies prevented some adverse developments that might lead to harmful consequences for Armenia’s statehood and the constitutional order.

At the same time, the leadership and the staff of national security agencies continued with their daily exercise aimed at ensuring a safer and more natural process of constitutional reforms. In the coming year, the status of the National Security Service will be addressed and streamlined.

Dear Generals and Officers,
Dear Veterans,

We are firmly determined to further develop the National Security Service of Armenia. Moreover, we will do our best to ensure that all the work performed in every single area be consistent with the standards applicable in the world’s most advanced special services.

Reiterating my congratulations, I wish you good health and ever new achievements to the benefit of our nation and for the sake of ensuring the security of the Republic of Armenia.
