Levon Aronian Sends a Message

Chess player Levon Aronian's message:

My dear friends and supporters, I am extremely happy to have performed successfully in Kolkata, India, and to have won the rapid chess tournament.

At this moment, like every Armenian around the world, my thoughts are with my country, and I eagerly await the day when my nation can live in peace, rebuild, and reorganize all that we value. I want to dedicate my victory to Armenia, to all my compatriots, to those who fell on the battlefield for Artsakh and Armenia, and to those who live and fight for our nation's sake.

I dedicate my victory to all our heroes and our brave sisters and mothers. As long as we believe and stand firm on our feet, we are immortal.
