Armenian President Armen Sarkissian has issued a congratulatory message on the occasion of Labor Day celebrated on May 1. In his message President says that all assets and everything that has a value – from the daily bread to the newest technologies, from cultural values to economic achievements - are created by human labor and tt is no accident that human capital is the most precious thing in the world.

“Labor motivates us to think, to dream, to create, and to produce. In the constantly changing world, labor fortified by knowledge and skills is a guarantee of success. At the same time, it is very important that any person who has the right to work, has also the opportunity to work and because of that work provide for a decent life. Safety of a country is conditioned by the prosperity of its society. In any country of the world, we can see creative hands of our compatriots and the fruits of their searching minds. However, Armenia is the source of our greatest achievements - our forthcoming success will be forged here,” the message reads in part.

Sarkissian is hopeful that through labor we will ensure Armenia’s current and future development and not only through the innovative approaches but also by employing the modern experience and the best practices for the labor management and protection of workers’ rights.

“I am confident that through our joint efforts, we will make our common Armenia even more beautiful,” says the President, sending also special congratulations to the veterans “who have passed on to us responsibility and respect for labor as well as centuries-old crafts and skills.”
