The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today issued the following statement to mark Armenia’s Independence Day:
“Today, we join the Armenian people and Armenian communities in Canada and around the world in celebrating the 33rd anniversary of Armenia’s independence.
“Canada was one of the first Western countries to recognize Armenia’s independence in 1992, and today our partnership remains steadfast.
“Last year, Canada established a full-fledged embassy with a resident ambassador in Armenia’s capital, Yerevan. We will continue to work with Armenia and our international partners, such as the United Nations and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, to foster long-term peace and stability in the South Caucasus. In addition, to ensure the protection of communities, we are supporting stabilization efforts in Armenia in collaboration with the European Union Mission in Armenia and providing humanitarian assistance to those in need.
“The relationship between Canada and Armenia is built on warm people-to-people ties. Nearly 70,000 Canadians of Armenian descent live in Canada today and are an integral part of our social fabric.
“On behalf of the Government of Canada, I extend my best wishes to all those celebrating Armenia’s Independence Day.”
