Your Hands Hold the Future of Our State. Seyran Ohanyan to Youth

Former Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan congratulated the youth on his Facebook page on the occasion of the Feast of Saint Sergius the Commander and the Day of Youth's Blessing.

“Dear youth, on February 8, we celebrate the Feast of Saint Sergius the Commander, the Day of Youth’s Blessing. I warmly congratulate you all and sincerely wish you to enjoy the golden time given to you in your life, to love selflessly, and to be loved just as warmly and sincerely, because Love is a power that multiplies the best that exists in human souls. I wish you the flight of thought, creativity, and the joy of being free... and meaning—to appreciate and preserve our national values, to absorb the best experiences of humanity.

Today, your hands hold the future of our state, our country’s borders are entrusted to you. I am convinced that this generation, born and victorious in independent Armenia, which I see strength, will, and resilience in its eyes, is capable of advancing the empowerment of our state, the well-being of the Armenian people, and creating new victories through new and bold ideas, its knowledge, and abilities, in an atmosphere of honest and conscious tolerance and trust towards each other.

…May the ‘restless souls’ of our revered commanders accompany and protect you with an invisible force, further empowering you to fulfill the sacred mission of nurturing and defending the Homeland. And may Mother Armenia always stand with her proud, invincible, and brave sons…,” wrote Seyran Ohanyan.
