“You are indeed one of the most celebrated athletes of the 20th century whose name for the glory of our nation is inscribed in the history of the Olympic Games as well as the world sports. With the victories registered throughout your sporting career and especially with the famous Azarian Cross you, it seemed, were far ahead your times, and proved that you are really strong in spirit and body.

Your three gold Olympic medals today too remain lasting all-Armenian values, while you are a legend and national pride who has been for decades passing the aspiration for victory and keys to success to young sportsmen.
