PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF ARMENIA

Yerevan, 5 October, 2006

 

ZORYAN INSTITUTE BOARD

 

Dear Compatriots:

I wish to warmly congratulate the Zoryan Institute on the occasion of its 25th anniversary.

The Zoryan Institute uniquely stands out for its realization of Armenian studies at a high scientific and theoretical level; and, more importantly, in a context that integrates it with an array of other international issues.

The contribution of the Zoryan Institute to impartial and scientific research on the Armenian Genocide is immensely meaningful and significant. Through your systematic endeavours, the Armenian Genocide has become a daily issue on the international agenda.

The study of Armenia and Diaspora by the Institute, which incorporates the fields of national history, politics, economics, culture and statehood, deserves the utmost appreciation.

Once again, I congratulate you on this significant occasion and wish you all the best and new successes in your challenging, sublime and honourable mission.

Robert Kocharian
