Truly, the virtuous description of the Armenian woman in our national life is unique, and her mission is eternally blessed to be the anchor of the Armenian family. The role of women is irreplaceable in the strength of families, educating our children with Christian values and native traditions, being and remaining the anchor of the Armenian family, with her focus of love, loyalty, selflessness and devotion. In our century of equal opportunities the role of women is also undeniable and they have made contributions in science, education, economy and all other spheres of social life; contributing to the welfare and development of our society.
Dear mothers, sisters and daughters, we extend our prayers to God that you enrich our lives filling it with your good deeds, love, care and virtuous example, as according to the Bible “The virtuous woman is precious of all the gems”.
