Armen Sarkissian Sends Message to Joseph Biden

The President of Armenia, Armen Sarkissian, has sent a message to the President of the United States, Joseph Biden, in connection with the 20th anniversary of the terrorist attack in the USA. President Sarkissian’s message states:

“It has been twenty years since the 9/11 terrorist attack in the United States. More than 3,000 innocent people lost their lives, including Armenian Americans, and over 10,000 were injured. Our hearts still ache for the innocent victims, and our prayers are with the survivors and their families. Armenia firmly condemns all manifestations of terrorism and the violation of human values. We stand beside the American people in support of the ideals of freedom and peace.

Throughout history, suffering and tragedies have been the fate of our country; we know how unbearable that pain can be. We are convinced that together with all civilized nations, we can fight against terrorism and evil. Terrorism and other harmful acts must not exist in our world. Armenia has already demonstrated its commitment to supporting this international fight.

Shared history, values, and perspectives provide a strong foundation for strengthening bilateral relations and deepening cooperation between our two countries. Armenian-American relations have always been based on mutual respect, common ideals, and a firm belief in a more prosperous future.”
