Yerevan Mayor Taron Margaryan issued a congratulation message on the International Family Day, which reads.
Dear co-citizens,
May 15 has been marked in Armenia as the International Family Day for a few years.
This day is another opportunity to stare that family has always been and remains the stronghold of a country, the pillar making the state stronger. And, finally, family is the source of mutual love, respect and peace on which a civilized society is based.
It’s undeniable that we, Armenians, attach an important role to family and keeping our traditions. Being the human value the family and hearth are sacred for us. And it is natural as for centuries Armenian home has been the environment where traditions were kept, where generations dedicated to their national interests were brought up. The family stronghold, endless love and devotion were and are the greatest guarantee of the vitality and victories of our nation.
And today, congratulating all Armenian families on the event I’d like to wish family warmth, welfare and peace to everyone. And let love and respect for each other stay our most important value.
