Yerevan /Mediamax/. Chairman of "Troika Dialogue" Company's Broad of
Directors Ruben Vardanyan described his nomination for the position
of the Armenian President as "impossible".
Mediamax reports that Ruben Vardanyan said this at the online interview
at Gazeta.ru website.
"It is impossible. First of all, I am a citizen of Russia and never was
a citizen of Armenia. I don't have an Armenian passport. Secondly,
and what is more important, I am deeply sure that a person, who
has lived and worked in Armenia for many years and who understands
deeply and well what is taking place there, should be the President
of Armenia. Thirdly, I believe that I don't have the qualities, which
would make me a good state official either in Russia or in Armenia",
the businessman stated.
Ruben Vardanyan also commented on the project of building International
DILIJAN School in Armenia.
"The project, which was were going to realize in Armenia, is by no
means related to the laws on Russian speaking schools in Armenia,
since teaching in our school was planned to be realized in English,
and not in Russian. Moreover, I believe that in Armenia it is very
important to preserve the knowledge of the Armenian language, and
indeed large investments are needed for that. To maintain any language
at a proper level is the task of the elite in a particular country. At
that, we should understand that by preserving and developing our own
language, we should do everything for our future generations to be
able to communicate, speak a few languages, including Russian as well,
since Russia is one of the key markets for Armenia. In terms of this,
it is very important to maintain the competitive advantages, which
we have created over the past 90 years, including in the sphere of
knowledge of languages".
