UN Model Conference organized on August 2-7 in Geneva.

discussing international problems and adopting and drafting relevant
resolutions.

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
