Assembly. The first meeting was with the President of the Parliament.
Greeting the young people the NA President Tigran Torosyan told about
the activity, purposes and problems of the Parliament and particularly
about the process of creating laws. The NA President highlighted
the importance of correctly confronting the laws with the mentality,
customs and traditions of the people, the respect and responsibility
towards the implementation of laws. Mr. Torosyan noted that one and
a half decade is a long period in the life of a person, but it is a
short period in the life of a state, so there are a lot of things to
do for the full realization of the state governance system, resolution
of social-economic and cultural problems. The President highlighted
the importance of the Constitution as a document which regulates
the public and state life, defines laws, obligations and right and
from which deriv the rest of laws. Touching upon the USSR decades
Mr. Torosyan highlighted the soviet achievements in educational,
social and economic spheres, noting that the knowledge given by the
USSR educational system in the sphere of social life were different
from that of the rest of the world being separated with an iron
curtain. In consequence, becoming independent states the post-soviet
countries appeared in a situation when they had to learn and act
simultaneously. The NA President highlighted the difficulties that
have been overcome after the establishment of independence, touched
upon the mistakes and defects, the successes and tasks.
The President of the Parliament highlighted the importance of obtaining
full knowledge and the responsibility towards the country and the state
in the sense of achieving lasting successes and highlighted that the
successors of today's young people will live in much easier times,
but it will require a good work form all of us and the creation of
life conditions that our successors deserve.
The President of the National Assembly answered the questions of
the young people which concerned the external and internal policy of
the country. Particularly in answer to the questions concerning the
solvability of the Nagorno Karabakh issue andthe announcements made
by the Azerbaijani side about increasing the military budget and the
probability of war Mr. Torosyan highlighted that the 90s of the 20th
century and the beginning of the 21st century are different from each
other and there are international life rules and principles which have
to be considered. The Azerbaijani have had occasions to get convinced
that the money or the quantity of weapons do not decide the result of
the war. At the beginning of 90s Azerbaijan had an armoury exceeding
in quantity and quality, but when the person fights for the defense
of his home and freedom, he is much stronger and spiritually more
powerful. The Azerbaijani talk about the war very often, because
they don't have the courage to recognize the Republic of Nagorno
Karabakh. However, they understand that restarting the war with the
RNK does not have any base and perspective. Mr. Torosyan highlighted
the circumstance, that during the last one and a half and two years
the international public has started to recognize the right of
self-determination of the RNK for which 17 years were needed. The
developments show that there are slow but positive movements. The
NA President highlighted that the people of Nagorno Karabakh have
declared its freedom and independence totally in compliance with the
USSR laws and are unbending to continue the struggle for its freedom
and independence having all the historical, legal and moral bases.
At the end of the meeting the NA President Tigran Torosyan wished
successes and happiness to the young people highlighting that
knowledge, diligence and dedication are at the base of real success.
