The third and fourth UN Corners in the Ijevan and Kapan based Centers
for organizing youth activities were launched on Friday and yesterday.
The aim of these UN Corners is to provide the public more information
about the United Nations. Many interesting UN-related cultural,
educational, and other events for the local community can be organized
here.
"We welcome the launching of these UN Corners in Ijevan and Kapan
and we are sure it will serve as an additional stimulus to raise the
activeness of youth population of the provinces. We appreciate this
initiative and look forward to continue our cooperation with the UN
Armenia Office," said Mr. Arsen Karamyan - Deputy Minister of Sport
and Youth Affairs of Republic of Armenia.
Representatives from the local community, municipal officials and
young activists gathered together for round table discussions in both
centers dedicated to "UN4U Campaign" and to join the "Stand Up and
Take Action - End Poverty Now!" campaign.
Maria Dotsenko, UN Department of Public Information Representative
said: "This is an important week for us at the UN, as we on 24 October
are celebrating the 64th birthday of the UN. Public's support and
participation in UN work makes this organization what it is today:
strong and effective. I am pleased that now people from Tavush and
Syunik provinces will have an opportunity to learn more about the
work of the United Nations."
The launching of these UN Corners is a result of cooperation between
the "Center for Organizing Youth Activities" governmental non-profit
organization of the Ministry of Sport and Youth Affairs of RA and UN
Department of Public Information. "Armenian UN Association" NGO also
