President Serj Sarksian today sent a congratulatory telegram to recipient of the Pulitzer Prize, poet Peter Balakian on the occasion of his 65th birthday, wishing him good health, happiness and success, as reported the press service of the RA President.
“By presenting the Armenian Genocide once again in American literature with your books, you reminded the international community about the tragedy and rebirth of the Armenian people once again.
Your books, which are very moral and have a magical charm, have been loved and appreciated by thousands of readers and literary critics, brilliant evidence of which is the Pulitzer Prize that was recently granted to you.
Your books are universal and permanent.
Armenia loves you and takes pride in you,” the RA President’s congratulatory message reads.
