NKR PRESIDENT MEETS THE STUDENTS OF “MANUKYAN-DEMIRCHYAN” COLLEGE
STEPANAKERT, July 5. /ARKA/. NKR President Arkadi Ghukasyan met the
students of “MAnukyan-Demirchyan” college of the Armenian Benevolent
Union (Los-Angeles, California, USA), who arrived in Stepanakert.
According to ARKA’s reporter from Stepanakert, in the course of the
meeting Ghukasyan noted that such visits stimulated consolidation of
the nation. Noting the role of the youth in the future of the
country, Ghukasyan emphasized that today’s young people are more
patriotic and educated, so they may do much for the welfare of the
country. “Many of you obviously had the chance to have rest in any
European country, however you preferred NKR and we are grateful to
you for it. I am sure that it will become tradition and once a year
you will visit Artsakh, since by your arrival you inspire our young
people. We won the war, because the Diaspora backed us. Naturally,
the main burden was on Artsakh, but, realizing that our compatriots
in the USA and other countries of the world backed us, we felt much
stringer”, he said.
In his turn the head of the group, Deputy Director of the College Eli
Andreasyan noted that every year, eight years on end, the students of
the college arrive in Armenia. Last year the group which arrived in
Armenia participated in the TV marathon in Los-Angeles, transferring
$32 thsd. “This time we decided to arrive in Karabakh, which allowed
us to return to Los Angeles, full with patriotic spirit”, she said.
