Sergey Lavrov's Congratulatory Message on the 95th Anniversary of International Affairs
Addressed to Armen Oganesyan, Editor-in-Chief
Dear Armen Garnikovich,
On behalf of the Foreign Ministry and myself, I cordially
congratulate you and all employees of International Affairs
on the 95th anniversary of the journal's foundation.
During these years, the journal has become an inherent part
of the country's diplomatic history. Today, it is rightly among
the most influential publications on international relations
and a source of important analytical materials for a wide
range of Russian and foreign readers, as well as for the expert
community.
It is highly encouraging that International Affairs offers its pages not only to prominent diplomats and
scholars but also to young researchers, organizes contests for best articles by young experts on inter-
national affairs and holds themed conferences and roundtables.
Relying on traditions as befits the needs of the time, the journal continues to make its contribution to
the overall efforts to pursue the country's foreign policy course and promote a positive, forward-looking
agenda in global affairs.
I wish you and your staff good health, well-being and new successes in your work for the benefit of
our Motherland.
S. Lavrov
