/PanARMENIAN.Net/ After the award-giving ceremony of the "Kangaroo"
international competition in mathematics Armenian President Serzh
Sargsyan, answering the questions of the participants, stressed that
if a student is eager to learn there is no difference in which foreign
or Armenian universities he studies.
"I believe the education program implemented by the Government
of Armenia and establishment of the " Luys " foundation, aimed at
providing financial aid to Armenians admitted by foreign institutions
of higher education, prove the position of the country’s leadership,"
Serge Sargsyan said.
Answering a question of high school student, the president said:
"I believe that every young Armenian is obliged to serve in the army,
contributing their own strength to protect the Fatherland. This is
our sacred duty. We are a small country, which must have a large and
a strong army. But it does not mean that we are ready to adopt a law
on call-up from 18 years, irrespectively of the fact of studying. "
As an option, the President mentioned about the possibility of changes
in the system of state orders.
Serzh Sargsyan also stressed the urgency of development of Armenian
regions.
