The message reads, in part:
“In the ten years of its active and fruitful work the Union of Armenians of Russia has evolved into a respected and valued public organisation which represents over 2.5 million of Russian Armenians. Your record lists significant cultural and educational projects, as well as consistent efforts to strengthen and harmonise interethnic and interreligious relations in Russia.
The most sincere appreciation is due to your role in the development of traditionally friendly and strategic relations between Russia and Armenia, as well as your contribution to promoting close trade, economic, cultural and scientific ties between our two brotherly nations.
I am confident that its glorious traditions and beneficial mission will help the Union continue developing dynamically and involving talented and caring people in your work.
Please accept my best wishes.”
