union and the chair of the council Hayk Harutyunyan has represented,
purposes of the organization are laminated: to favour the special
and educational development of the members, to try to create a
world network of the Armenian specialists by using this potential,
which will become a huge personnel base. The organization has already

also Artsakh. The NKR President, as well as leaders of corresponding
departments were given a package of collaboration’s mechanisms. They

was too concerned with such collaboration not only in education,
but also other spheres. But all the more in education sphere, as
it’s a strategic direction for our country. Minister of Education
and Science V. Khachatryan expressed positively about such programs,
