"Dear Mr. Matovosyan,

Dear Maestro,

Please accept my warmest congratulations on your 80th birthday.

For decades, owing to your voice and performing art, the Armenian folk, gusan, and ashugh songs, also songs by many contemporary Armenian composers, have become known in Armenia, the Diaspora, and many foreign countries, capturing the hearts of the Armenian and foreign listeners.

With your devotion to Armenian art and culture, your incomparable art, and your ability to love and raise the Homeland and the Nation, you have served an example for the younger generations of performers.

I wish you, dear Maestro, health, success, and inexhaustible creative energy."
