I learned with sorrow about the untimely demise of Rita Sargsyan, the spouse of RA Third President Serzh Sargsyan.

As chairperson of the Donate Life Foundation Board of Trustees, Mrs. Sargsyan played a key role in supporting Armenian children struggling against blood cancer by helping to address several health-related issues. Her efforts resulted in the reconstruction of a number of healthcare and educational institutions.

Mrs. Sargsyan likewise led valuable social and public activities aimed at fostering cultural life in the country.

On behalf of our family, I express condolences to the mourning family of the Sargsyans.
