/PanARMENIAN.Net/ In a press conference held today, UN Office in
Armenia represented Armenian delegation which participated in Global
UN Model Conference organized on August 2-7 in Geneva.

First Global UN Model Conference was attended by 9 students from
different Armenian universities. The conference on" The Millennium
Development Goals: Lifting the Bottom Billion out of Poverty" brought
together young people from 60 countries. Model UN conferences are
convened every year in over 70 states with participation of 1.5
million young individuals.

During the conference in Geneva, Armenian delegates acted as diplomats
discussing international problems and adopting and drafting relevant
resolutions.

"Youth represent a top priority for the United Nations and, I am
convinced, this youth gathering was an excellent opportunity for you
to develop your leadership and communications skills that you will
use throughout your lives, and why not as part of the UN family,"
said Resident Coordinator of UN Armenia Office Ms. Consuelo Vidal.

Armenian delegates participated in Global UN Model Conference under
the patronage of President Serzh Sargsyan, RA Government’s Civil
Aviation General Department, UN Public Information Office in Armenia
and Armenian UN Association.

At the end of conference, UN Public Information Office representative
Maria Dotsenko, Head of Civil Aviation Department Sahak Hakobyan and
President Serzh Sargsyan’s representative received literary awards.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
