In the RA NA Speaker’s word, more than a quarter of century the “Iravunk” newspaper gives chronicles of Armenia’s new history through different journalistic genres, exercising the constitutional right of free speech, giving an opportunity to the society to exercise its right of being informed and aware. Galust Sahakyan has highlighted the fact that the “Iravunk” has succeeded to preserve the somber feeling of topicality, the due perception of reality, the aspiration and tendency of deeply analyzing the situation. The RA NA President wished the staff of the newspaper endless energy in the realization of the journalistic mission.

Thanking for the awards the RA NA deputy Hayk Babukhanyan has noted that the newspaper is adherent to its adopted national ideology and doesn't avoid reflecting impartially public life events. He has expressed hope that the “Iravunk” newspaper will give an opportunity to continue its mission demanded by the different layers of the society.
