The leader of the “Armenian National Revival” movement, Arshak Karapetyan, has returned from his foreign trip. As we approach the new year of 2024, it is a time for reflection and evaluation of the past. We must assess our progress objectively and identify positive results. This is a crucial step in determining how each of us can contribute to the development of our diverse country, Armenia. Despite the challenges we have faced, our hopes and aspirations unite us in the fight against crisis.

The war in Artsakh has caused immense devastation and had a profound impact on the lives of thousands of our compatriots. We must express our gratitude to the brave defenders who liberated their homes from the enemy and have left a lasting legacy of resilience in the face of aggression. I call upon the protectors of Armenia and all our citizens to remember the nations that have endured and risen once again in the struggle against adversity.

Dear friends, together we will overcome these difficulties. We must unite to support those who have been affected by the crisis, providing assistance to those who have lost their homes and livelihoods due to the aggression of unfree states. The defenders of Armenia and all our compatriots must stand strong and resilient, drawing inspiration from the nations that have persisted in the struggle and have risen once more.

Dear sisters and brothers, let us join forces to overcome all hardships. We must protect those who are facing difficulties in their current situation. Let us be the first to extend help to those who have courageously fought for their homes against the remnants of ungodly aggression. Our determination to protect our national heritage and the security of our state should be unwavering. Each and every one of us should strive to go beyond our capabilities in aiding those who are struggling with the crisis, especially those who are in dire need.

Today, the spirit of charity is of utmost importance. We must not only focus on personal projects, but also on assisting our community as a whole. May joy, prosperity, success, and progress accompany every family. May love and knowledge, which are the pillars of our Christian faith, flourish in their lives.

I extend my heartfelt congratulations to all of you on the arrival of the year 2024! I want to express my gratitude to those who have dedicated themselves to the healthcare sector, tirelessly working to save lives and maintain the security and order of our state. I also extend my appreciation to the frontline workers, guardians, transportation staff, and other public service workers who selflessly perform their duties for the welfare of our society. Furthermore, I commend the cultural workers who actively contribute to creating a vibrant cultural environment in our land.

Once again, congratulations on the new year of 2024!
