Samvel Karapetyan, leader of the “Strong Armenia” party, congratulated Ruben Vardanyan on his birthday.

“Dear Ruben,

It’s been the third year that your family, your relatives and friends have not been able to personally congratulate you on your birthday, shake your hand. However, physical distance and the walls of Baku prison cannot separate you from your relatives and your people. your presence and deeds are in the everyday life of our homeland, our people.

True patriotism is not just words, but taking responsibility for the well-being and security of one’s own people. You showed with your life and choice what it means to be a true patriot, ready for the greatest deprivations.

I wish you endurance, good health and courage of soul. The return of you and our other friends is a matter of honor for all of us.”
