Four million AMD from the state budget will be allocated to a number
of young people to organize a "tour" round Armenia.
The money squandering in this way is determined by the fact that the
young generation of Armenia is unaware of its country's history. NGOs
"Areg" and "Centre of Social Technologies" assume that they may
sow love and respect towards 15-year-old Armenia by presenting its
history. In this respect they initiated the program "Generation of
Independence."
"Our task is to give the youth an opportunity to acknowledge
the country and to make suggestions for the country's future
well-being. There are places I don't know myself and I am looking
forward to those visits," said Gerasim Barseghyan, head of the
scientific-cultural youth association "Areg" during the meeting
with journalists.
During their first tour, on September 16, they intend to visit
Noravank, Tatev, Noraduz. Each group will comprise of 30 people. The
participants will be mainly students. The students' boards of higher
educational institutions will decide which students to include in the
groups. The initiators and participants of the tour are convinced
that it will contribute to the recognition of our homeland and its
historical background.
