    NA SPEAKER MEETS WITH SCHOOLCHILDREN

    National Assembly
    parliament.am
    March 1 2011
    Armenia

    Within the framework of the Open Lesson programme the first day of
    the four-day sittings on February 28 senior classes of the schools of
    Ajapnyak and Davtashen administrative districts visited the parliament.

    First the schoolchildren attended the sitting of the National Assembly,
    and then they had a meeting with the NA Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan.

    Taking into account that February 28 was the 23rd year of the Sumgait
    killings Hovik Abrahamyan once more condemned those tragic events
    and noted that the non-recognized massacre created an opportunity of
    new ones.

    The head of the legislative body introduced the schoolchildren
    the order, functions of the parliament, the relations with
    other structures, spoke about parliament-society link, and in
    particular, about the transparency of the parliament's work. In
    the NA Speaker's words, the parliament should be a podium of the
    collision of the opinions, to which the schoolchildren witnessed,
    when the opposition made a political statement at the approval of
    the agenda. Hovik Abrahamyan also touched upon the Armenian-Turkish
    relations, the procedure of the settlement of the Nagorno Karbakah
    conflict, introducing the schoolchildren with the main principles
    of the regulation of the problem. As such, the NA Speaker noted the
    principles of the peaceful settlement of the problem through the
    nations' self-determination, territorial integrity and negotiations.

    Talking about the bellicose announcements of the Azerbaijani side he
    noted that Armenia has a combatative army and cannot to defend its
    borders and provide the security of the country.

    The meeting with the schoolchildren was held in question-and-answer
    session: they addressed various questions the NA Speaker. The
    schoolchildren were interested in the sphere of education, in
    particular, problems concerning the senior school. The NA Speaker
    ensured that many questions of interest are included in 2011-2015
    Education Development Programme, which is in the phase of discussion.

    He urged those present to study well, obtain deep knowledge and later
    serve them for the state, being involved in the state system. Both
    making closer the contacts with the society, and clarifying the
    problems of the education sphere the NA Speaker envisages organizing
    visits to schools. This initiative will relate to the head of the
    legislative body and the deputies, who will be in different educational
    centers of the republic.

    According to tradition, the schoolchildren were taken photos in the
    NA sitting hall with Hovik Abrahamyan. The meeting had an unexpected
    end: the schoolchildren recited poems written by Armenian writers
    Sevak and Shiraz in the hall.
