March 1 2011
Armenia
Within the framework of the Open Lesson programme the first day of
the four-day sittings on February 28 senior classes of the schools of
Ajapnyak and Davtashen administrative districts visited the parliament.
First the schoolchildren attended the sitting of the National Assembly,
and then they had a meeting with the NA Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan.
Taking into account that February 28 was the 23rd year of the Sumgait
killings Hovik Abrahamyan once more condemned those tragic events
and noted that the non-recognized massacre created an opportunity of
new ones.
The head of the legislative body introduced the schoolchildren
the order, functions of the parliament, the relations with
other structures, spoke about parliament-society link, and in
particular, about the transparency of the parliament's work. In
the NA Speaker's words, the parliament should be a podium of the
collision of the opinions, to which the schoolchildren witnessed,
when the opposition made a political statement at the approval of
the agenda. Hovik Abrahamyan also touched upon the Armenian-Turkish
relations, the procedure of the settlement of the Nagorno Karbakah
conflict, introducing the schoolchildren with the main principles
of the regulation of the problem. As such, the NA Speaker noted the
principles of the peaceful settlement of the problem through the
nations' self-determination, territorial integrity and negotiations.
Talking about the bellicose announcements of the Azerbaijani side he
noted that Armenia has a combatative army and cannot to defend its
borders and provide the security of the country.
The meeting with the schoolchildren was held in question-and-answer
session: they addressed various questions the NA Speaker. The
schoolchildren were interested in the sphere of education, in
particular, problems concerning the senior school. The NA Speaker
ensured that many questions of interest are included in 2011-2015
Education Development Programme, which is in the phase of discussion.
He urged those present to study well, obtain deep knowledge and later
serve them for the state, being involved in the state system. Both
making closer the contacts with the society, and clarifying the
problems of the education sphere the NA Speaker envisages organizing
visits to schools. This initiative will relate to the head of the
legislative body and the deputies, who will be in different educational
centers of the republic.
According to tradition, the schoolchildren were taken photos in the
NA sitting hall with Hovik Abrahamyan. The meeting had an unexpected
end: the schoolchildren recited poems written by Armenian writers
Sevak and Shiraz in the hall.
