Dear Ambassador,

The Armenian National Congress is shocked at the news of the earthquake in Italy and the destruction of the town of L'Aquila in the province of Abruzzio. Approximately one third of our own country was destroyed after a similar catastrophe in 1988, which makes it easy for us to understand the full weight of this tragedy. We are sending our deepest sympathy to the people and government of Italy for the hundreds of lives lost to this natural disaster. We pray for their souls and offer our moral support to their families. We have no doubt that the government and the valiant people of Italy will be able to overcome the consequences of this tragedy, to sooth the pain of grieving relatives, and to heal this wound quickly and proudly.
