“Dear young people,

I congratulate you on World Youth Day.

This year we celebrated 25^th Anniversary of Armenia’s Independence. It is not the brilliant page of our history, but also one of the greatest achievements of nowadays’ youth, because 25 years ago the very youth was the most active force of the Artsakh movement being the cornerstone of the independence. Today also the youth is at the centre of the political processes and the basis of the civil society with more independent, more reasonable and more initiative work style, and with more fresh breath. And there has been and there is a necessity to refresh breath and refresh ideas in all times and in all countries, where the people not only want to move forward, but they also really walk in that direction.

The fact that today’s young people orientate better on how to live, how and about what to fulfill dreams, is one of the best achievements of the independence and an inevitable necessity at present. The world has become more practical, free of feelings and even colder, forcing to prevent the way of thinking as much as possible, who should help us with something, who should present us something. Those people succeed, who don’t lament and expect compassion, who purposefully advance, who think, and make the thinking an idea, and idea works, for those who successfully can combine the tradition and innovation, who realize that their success is the success of their country and people, their destiny is the destiny of the country.

I am sure that you, the youth of Armenia, fully feel the time and the moment, responsibility towards the destiny, and ready to practically take part in building of the future that you dream, and to which your thinking and reflections, your word and work are aimed at,” the NA Speaker’s congratulatory message reads.
