Armenian PM Sends New Year Congratulations to Country’s Assyrian Community

Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan sent the following congratulatory message to Armenia’s Assyrian community on Kha b’Nissan, the Assyrian New Year.  

“I hereby extend my most cordial felicitations to Armenia’s Assyrian community on the Assyrian New Year, Kha b’Nissan. May this oldest religious-national festival, which heralds the rebirth of nature, bring you a happy new year! May it be a year of new births, ideas, conceptions and ever new achievements!

We have had to defy numerous challenges together throughout history. Today as well, following up on the centuries-old tradition of friendship between the Armenian and Assyrian peoples, we are facing a challenging period on the way to building a bright future for our common homeland.

Let our family hearths henceforth be filled with love, harmony and homely warmth. I wish you a happy Kha b’Nissan!”

P.S. Assyrians constitute Armenia’s third largest national minority, following the Yezidis and Russians. According to the 2011 census, there are 2,769 Assyrians living in Armenia, down from 6,000 prior to the collapse of the Soviet Union.
