The Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan has today taken part in
the summing up of the results of "I am overcoming the crisis" contest
and the prize giving ceremony in the "Erebuni-Plaza" hotel complex
which was organized by the Armenian Government, the Central Bank and
"Mediamax" news agency.
Public relations department of the Armenian government told Armenpress
that congratulating all the participants of the contest and the
winners – students of the Economic faculties of Armenian and Artsakh
higher educational establishments which took the first three places,
the prime minister stressed the importance of such initiatives which
are in coincidence with the programs of the Government and aim at
encouraging the research works among the youth.
"It is a significant and fundamental principle for us from the
standpoint that if the 21st century will be a century of mental
activity it means that those nations will have a comparative compatible
privilege which will be able to discover in themselves an intellectual
potential, analytical abilities, strive towards the science, knowledge,
by themselves form the problems, issues and find solutions to these
issues, first of all by developing the research abilities.
This initiative of "Mediamax" creates such stimulus because the young
people have an opportunity to present the results of their ideas on
the highest level and it is naturally encouraged by the state and
arouses interest towards the research works.
Of course it is desirable that this example be infective so that many
young people have a wish to deal with research activity. I think that
this initiative contains such serious stimulus and other partners
of the private sector will also initiate such important events which
will also get the support of the state", – the prime minister said.
