Catholicos of All Armenians His Holiness Garegin II congratulated Mr Hovik Abrahamyan on the occasion of the election in the post of the President of the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia.

“We bring our patriarchal blessing from the Holy See Echmiadzin to you and congratulate on the occasion of the election in the post of the RA NA President.

Through many years in different responsible posts you made every effort for the sake of our native country and for the welfare of our people, contributing to the strengthening of our independent statehood. Assuming the responsible post of the President of the National Assembly you will continue to carry out your activity for the interest of our homeland: for the progress of the Republic of Armenia and recording new achievements in the national life.

Praying God we wish that the Lord would give you success in your activity and keep you under his Holy Right, keep you and your family, giving you health and all the best.”
