opportunities provided by international law, I have no doubt that the
conference will deeply analyze the problems existing in the sphere
and find rational ways of their solution.
The Armenian Constitution states that within the framework of the
principles and norms of international law Armenia contributes to the

participate in the creation of those values. Therefore you should
participate in their preservation. We need to work out a strategy
