Remarks by President Serzh Sargsyan at the meeting with the
schoolchildren and students of excellent academic record and
prize-winners of the Olympiads
Dear Friends,
I am glad to have this meeting with you today and I am extremely
pleased to welcome you at the Presidential Palace.
After being elected President of the Republic of Armenia in 2008,
I promised to hold meetings with the medal winner graduates of the
schools and medals winners of the international science Olympiads.
Please be assured that no matter how busy I am and regardless of the
number of small and large problems to be addressed, I will keep my
word and every year I will be meeting with the young people because
on one hand you deserve it, on the other hand I constantly receive
positive impulses from these meetings. Today, you are my personal
guests. In this hall, we hold meetings with foreign dignitaries. We
hold receptions for them right here but trust me, today's meeting
is not less important. You are the future of our country, you are
the heroes of our times, and our country needs such heroes, really
needs them.
I always speak with pride about you with my interlocutors. Have
no doubt that our country will do everything so that science and
education in Armenia flourish. Couple of months ago, I instructed
the government of the Republic to take measures to ensure that each
student of good performance is not deprived of the right to receive
education because of his or her difficult social situation. This
year, a number of such programs have already been launched. These
are programs which are general, envisages for all; programs which
are already working for the socially disadvantaged students.
This meeting is not just a formal meeting. This meeting is a policy.
Education is one of the most important areas for our country's
development, not less important than the army. You represent our
country abroad, you glorify our name. And all those who want to compete
with us should rather compete in the area of education. All those who
speak about the collapse of Armenia's education system should rather
open their eyes wide, prick up their ears and observe our success.
You have already won eleven medals at the science Olympiads - one
silver and ten bronze, which is exactly as many as your peers from
Georgia and Azerbaijan combined. I am confident that we are yet to
register success in the area of astronomy, and I want us together to
wish success to our young people.
Well done! Thank you, trust me you've made a great job; last year as
well as this year, we have registered outstanding results.
I would like to thank the participants of the Kazan Student Games who
have won ten medals. Never before in our modern history have we been
able to win so many medals at the Student Games.
I would like to recognize all those graduates who this year graduated
with gold medals. It is gratifying that secondary education in Armenia
is developing not only in Yerevan, as many would say, but also in
our regions. It is testified to by the increased number of the medal
recipients not only in Yerevan but also in Goris, Sisian, Hrazdan,
Gyumri. It is great. Be assured that the process will go on.
I would also like to recognize our youngsters-winners of the Kangaroo
competition who are your successors indeed. I wish you don't stop
there. This is the first steady step toward your bright future and
the process should go on. Learning is an incessant process. Even after
graduating from a higher education establishment, one should continue
to study, to read constantly and not only professional literature. You
are the worthy representative of the small nation which has great
history and culture. You ought to be ingenious in your education,
with diverse knowledge; you ought to be very different from others.
Otherwise, we all, our nation will not have the future which our
ancestors dreamed about and for which many sacrificed their lives.
I believe in you. I believe in you and wish that next time we meet
in this hall in a different status. As you know we have the Luys
Foundation in Armenia, which is providing financing to the Armenian
students who study in ten best educational establishments of the
world. Every year, I meet with them too. This year, I met with them
several weeks ago. They are brilliant young people, really brilliant.
I wish that some time later you and others like you be present here
as the recipients of the Luys Foundation fellowships, and we speak of
other topics. I also wish that we meet again in this hall when you've
already become the recipients of the Presidential Award for young
scientists. You will not even notice how quick the time will pass and
if you keep on this tempo, you will move our country forward. Believe
me, in a little while you, who sit here today or those like you will
become the leadership of this country - high ranking state officials.
