A team of Armenian schoolchildren won a total of 4 medals at the 32nd International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI).

11th-grader Emil Kostanyan from the Physics and Mathematics Specialized School named after Artashes Shahinyan and 12th-grade student Samvel Andreasyan from Quantum College won silver medals.

10th-grader Arayi Khalatyan and 11th-grader Alexander Abelyan, both from Quantum College, took bronze medals, the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sport reported.

The 32nd IOI, involving 343 contestants from 87 countries from all over the world, was held online from September 13 to 23 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 



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
