YEREVAN, JULY 25, ARMENPRESS. The government of Armenia allocated 10,8 million drams for the organization of the Pan-Armenian Olympiad on Armenian Studies, the ministry of education, science, culture and sport said in a press release.

The Olympiad will take place in the first half of August and will be attended by around 90 delegates from Armenia, Artsakh and the Diaspora.

The Pan-Armenian Olympiads on Armenian Studies are taking place once in 2 years. They aim at promoting the knowledge of Armenian language, literature, history and culture among Armenian children living abroad, helping to recognize Armenia and strengthen ties with the homeland.

The first Olympiad was held in 2003.

14-18 aged students with respective knowledge participate in the Olympiad. However, students, who do not speak Armenian, but have sufficient knowledge of Armenian history and culture, could also participate.

The Olympiad lasts a week, during which, in addition to competitions, other events are also organized. Visits are organized to Armenia’s beautiful sites, as well as the participants have a chance to meet with famous figures of different spheres.

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
