for All slogan this year, reported the Press service of the Armenian
MFA. The same day V.
Oskanian made a statement at the conference. He specifically noted
that Armenia fully supports the education policy of the organization,
which coincides with Armenia's strategy. The first university founded
eight centuries ago and a highest literacy index in the world evidence
Armenia's commitment to education and science. Armenian cultural
values spread worldwide were a way and guarantee of Armenian people's
survival from Singapore to Lvov, from Moscow to Paris, the Minister
noted. There is no better example than St. Lazarus Island in Venice,
of which both Armenians and Italians are cultural fathers. "We dream
that our immediate neighbor be as tolerant and valuing. However,
thousands of Armenian cultural monuments in Turkey symbolize not only
lost lives, but also lost opportunities. In its turn Azerbaijan does
everything to keep away from us. As no Armenians remained on its
territory, Armenian cultural monuments have become their targets,"
Vartan Oskanian stated. In his words a number of cultural monuments
in Armenia are included in the World Legacy list. Besides, V.
Oskanian said he was content with UN activities. He presented
Armenian delegation's intention over ratification of the Convention
on Protection and Encouragement of Cultural Diversity. The Armenian
FM also noted that Armenia proposes working out a new document that
would strengthen cultural legacy protection.
