Security bodies have been and remain one of the pivotal structures of the statehood.
Passing through difficult times, the service has been able to become a structure which fully comprehends its mission and takes it very seriously.

The contemporary world is moving forward incredibly fast. Along with that, challenges and threats not only multiply and become more complex but also change their nature and forms of manifestation. However, national, state interests remain unchanged and have to be steadfast guidelines for us all and especially for the employees of the national security bodies.

In the center of the activities of the security bodies is the upholding of the country’s sovereignty, security, territorial integrity, constitutional order as well as the protection of the citizens’ rights and freedoms. Much depends also on the dedication of each employee of the security service, personal activities, sense of duty and responsibility, professionalism, and decency.

Considering the existing race and competition of modern technologies and ideas, it is necessary to efficiently combine experience, knowledge, and technologies.

Honoring the veterans of the service, today we pay tribute to our known and unknown heroes, fighters of the invisible front, remember the Hero of USSR Gevork Vardanian, his battle friend, comrade-in-arms and spouse Gohar Vardanian, Ivan Aghayants, Hayk Hovakimian, Ashot Hakopian, many other representatives of our nation who contributed greatly to the efficient work of intelligence services and state security.
Today, the veterans of the service effectively pass their rich experience and skills, best traditions to the young.

I once again congratulate you on the occasion of the National Security Bodies Day and wish you excellent health, success in your difficult job, peace and prosperity to your families.”
