Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan delivered an address on Holy Saturday to congratulate Armenians on Easter.
Pashinyan recited The Beatitudes of Jesus Christ, according to the Gospel of Matthew:
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
Pashinyan added the traditional Armenian Apostolic Church Easter greeting and response: “Christ is risen from the dead. Blessed is the Resurrection of Christ.”
