Dear friends,

Congratulations on Victory Day!

Decades pass and generations change, but May 9 remains a sacred date for us. It is a symbol of national unity, courage, and the strength of spirit of our people. We bow our heads before the heroes of the front and the workers of the home front, before everyone who, at the cost of incredible efforts, brought May 1945 closer.

Important tasks stand before our generation — to preserve historical truth and, through responsible work, contribute to the country’s economic and technological development, as well as to its strength and security. May the memory of the heroes of the Great Patriotic War serve as a moral support, inspire good deeds, and remind us of the value of a peaceful sky above our heads.

I wish you good health, prosperity, and confidence in the future.

Happy Victory Day!

Rector of MAI
Mikhail Pogosyan
