Sarkisian addresses Olympiad participants
TSAKHKADZOR, Armenia (Combined Sources)-While speaking to participants
of the fifth All Armenian Olympiad of Armenian language and literature
on Saturday, President Serzh Sarkisian was confronted with a question
about the historic Armenian territories in Western Armenia.
Sarkisian's response: "everything depends on the young generation."
A student asked Sarkisian whether Western Armenia, with Mount Ararat,
will ever be united with Armenia.
"Everything depends on the young generation. Every generation has
some goal to achieve," said the President.
"The current generation defended and liberated a part of Armenian
land. If the future generation makes much effort then Armenia will
be one of the best states in the world," said Sarkisian.
"Generally, the power of the state is not defined through its
territory. The state should be modern, secure and prosperous. The
Armenian people are able to achieve their goals. And they will if
they believe in it," added President Sargsyan.
