Third President of the Republic of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan has sent a condolence message on the passing of legendary intelligence officer Gohar Vardanyan.

“I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of legendary Armenian-born intelligence officer Gohar Vardanyan. We lost a person of great human qualities, devoted to her mission, whose brilliant service record, accomplishments and professional abilities can serve lessons of genie, inspiration and patriotism for the generations to come. Her role and merit in history are worthy of deep respect.

Mrs. Rita and I have kept fond memories of our many meetings with wise and modest Armenian woman Gohar Vardanyan and her late husband and partner, legendary hero Gevorg Vardanyan, and we sincerely regret this great loss.

I extend my condolences and sympathy to Gohar Vardanyan’s relatives and friends.

During their lifetime, the legendary Vardanyan family kept in close touch with Armenia, lived with the joys and anxieties of their native people, stood by independent Armenia in the difficult times of the war providing invaluable professional advice.

I bow to Gohar Vardanyan’s bright memory, and pray for the repose of her noble and gentle soul.”
