YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 3, ARMENPRESS: Vice-speaker of the Armenian
parliament Samvel Nikoyan and head of the NA’s science, education,
culture, youth and sport affairs permanent commission Artak Davtyan
met today with the Council of Europe director of Youth and Sport
Affairs Ralf-Rene Weingartner.
NA public relations department told Armenpress that S. Nikoyan
highlighted Armenian youth’s Euro integration, their participation
in cooperation processes as well as ensuring and development of
inter-cultural dialogue. NA vice-speaker said that the issues of the
youth have always been under the limelight of the National Assembly,
and one of the NA’s committees is dealing with their issues.

youth has been discussed but rejected because of being of declarative
nature. The NA wants to adopt a bill which will ensure mechanisms
for solution of concrete issues of the youth.
Ralf-Rene Weingartner registered that during the two-day meetings
in Armenia he got an impression that the youth policy in Armenia has
registered a real and visible growth which shows the activity of the
youth and the steps of state bodies which have under the limelight
the issues of the young people.
During the meeting the sides also discussed other issues of the sphere.
