/PanARMENIAN.Net/ “Russia and Armenia cannot do without a systematic,
comprehensive approach to youth problems,” stated head of the Union
of Youth of Russia and Armenia (UYRA) within the structure of the
Association of the Russian-Armenian Business Cooperation, member of
the Supreme Council of Russian Party of Self-Government of Workers,
Chairman of party the Youth Movement Karen Dasoyan, reported the
Yerkramas newspaper of Armenians of Russia. In the opinion of the
young leader no one is seriously concerned about the youth in Russia
and Armenia. “Only politicians rarely remember us, raising under the
banner of pledges of free education in higher education institutions,
beneficial crediting of young families, increasing child birth
allowances, building new sport grounds, day nurseries, kindergartens,
schools… They promise, but these words tly away with the speed of
the wind just after the recurrent election,” Dasoyan says. TO solve
the problem he considers necessary working out of the youth policy
program along with a Law on Youth that would mention the mechanisms
of interaction of youth organizations and the state, the ways to
support the youth, the role of the youth and the opportunities for
its having impact on the state decision-making process. The UYRA
leader considers the forming of a state department that would engage
in the youth affairs (state committee for youth affairs or ministry of
youth) the third component of the solving of the problems of the young
generation. “The Union of Youth of Russia and Armenia will consider
its task fulfilled if we manage to solve these three basic problems,”
K. Dasoyan notes.
