Speaker of RA National Assembly Tigran Torosyan received the little
singers of the Arevik ensemble of the Public Television and Radio
Company of Armenia. The meeting was attended by the Chairwoman of
the National Assembly Standing Committee on Science, Education,
Culture and Youth Affairs Hranush Hakobyan and Executive Director of
the Public Radio of Armenia Armen Amiryan.

Congratulating the children on the brilliant success at the Junior
Eurovision Song Contest 2007 in Rotterdam, Speaker Tigran Torosyan
awarded a diploma of the National Assembly to the ensemble and gifts
to the eight singers.

The President of the National Assembly said Arevik’s wonderful
performance on the European stage was important from several
perspectives.

First, the name of Armenia was voiced many times and the Armenian
flag flew high on the European stage. Besides, the Armenian song was
loved and the childish spirit was preserved.

Although Arevik’s victory was conditioned also by the support of
Diaspora Armenians, Speaker Tigran Torosyan assured that the success
was achieved primarily due to Arevik and the people working with
the children.

According to the Speaker’s assessment, such achievements inspire our
citizens and help us move forward overcoming all the difficulties,
and years later the members of Arevik will be proud to have made
their contribution to the development of the Republic of Armenia.

Chairwoman of the National Assembly Standing Committee on Science,
Education, Culture and Youth Affairs Hranush Hakobyan also
congratulated the children for the "sunny victory" and handed prizes
on behalf of the Committee.

Director of the Public Radio Armen Amiryan, who visited Rotterdam
with Arevik, expressed gratitude to the National Assembly Speaker
for reception, assuring that the children who granted Armeniansun
to cold Europe will remember this meeting for a long time. As a sign
of gratitude to the Parliament Speaker, Arevik presented the CD with
their songs to Mr. Torsyan.
