ArmInfo. We have much to do – to develop our economy, to strengthen
our statehood, to ensure our security – but in order to do it we need
out centuries-old values, President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan said
in his address to his people and parliament today.

We need scientists who will discover new mysteries of the universe but
we also need scientists who will share their knowledge and experience
with their colleagues as this generosity will help us to discover
new sources of energy. We need constructors who can build bridges and
roads but we also need constructors who build roads bypassing forests
because they know that tomorrow their daughters and sons may want to
walk there some day. We need qualified doctors but we also doctors
who can feel compassion for those who they treat.

Sargsyan pointed out that education in Armenia had to be based
on national values. Our teachers must follow the values they
propagate. Transfer of national values must be the basis of our
education system.
