President Armen Sarkissian sent a congratulatory message to Joseph Biden, the President of the United States of America, on the Independence Day of the United States. President Sarkissian’s message particularly says:

"Independence gained at the cost of much deprivation and subsequent achievements evidence to the American people's determination and faithfulness to the principles of independence. This year, Independence Day celebrations have a special significance for millions of Americans as, under the pandemic, they symbolize a return to regular life.

These celebrations are of special relevancy to our American-Armenian compatriots as well, who contributed substantially to the development and strengthening of the United States of America, and promoted essentially the cooperation between our states.

With great enthusiasm, Armenians around the world welcomed your statement on the recognition of the Armenian Genocide, which is a reaffirmed commitment of your administration to protect human rights and universal values.

The United States of America is one of the most important partners of the Republic of Armenia. I am full of hope that due to joint efforts, the relations between our countries will continue to develop.”

President Sarkissian wished President Biden good health and all the best, and the friendly people of the United States, well-being and further progress.
