RA National Assembly Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan congratulated the Armenian chess players on their victory at the 2011 World Team Championship in China.

Dear champions,

I congratulate you on the occasion of achieving the title of the World Champions.

Your triumphant team has been successfully defending the honor of Armenia, Armenian sport and Armenian mind for years. It's difficult to become a leader, but it's harder to maintain the leader's positions.

Once again I congratulate you on the occasion of this important victory and wish new success and happiness to you and your families.
