My Dear Compatriots,

I congratulate you on the brilliant holiday of Christmas, which the Armenian Apostolic Orthodox Church is celebrating on January 6. I would like to congratulate not only the citizens of Georgia, but the parishes of the Armenian Church around the world.

The ethnic Armenians living in Georgia have greatly contributed to the cultural and economic development of our country and are still actively participating in the process of rebuilding our country.

The Georgian and Armenian people have created a unique experience of living together in harmony. The contribution of the Armenian Apostolic Church in this affair is unparalleled.

I wish your families peace, prosperity and good health.

May God be our guardian.

Respectfully,

Mikheil Saakashvili

President of Georgia
