Students, authorities, civil society and international community
representatives, and journalists discussed the use of the Spanish
Language at the UN during a first ever observation of the Spanish
Language Day in Armenia.
The event was organized by the UN Department of Public Information
(UNDPI) jointly with Hispanic Center, Yerevan State Pedagogical
University and with the support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
of Armenia.
The UN officials, representatives of the Hispanic Center and the MFA
spoke about the importance of the Spanish language for the UN and
the usage of Spanish language, Hispanic culture and music in Armenia.
Acting UN Resident Coordinator, Damtew Dessalegne said: "I am really
happy to see so many young bright people in the UN House today. It is
important that Armenians are learning Spanish, which will help them to
open the borders to the Hispanic world, will help them to be citizens
of the world. We live in a multilingual world where the languages we
speak, or read, or write, affect the way we think and act."
The audience enjoyed some Hispanic dances, flamenco music, poetry and
tasted Spanish traditional cocktails. The students from the Yerevan
State Pedagogical University made presentations on.
Spanish Language Day at the UN is celebrated on 12 October, the date
traditionally observed as the day of the Hispanic Culture, which
also coincides with Spanish National Day. Arabic, Chinese, English,
French, Russian, and Spanish are the six official languages of the
United Nations.
Starting in 2010, the United Nations Department of Public Information
in New York has announced the launch of "Language Days at the United
Nations", a new initiative which seeks to celebrate multilingualism
and cultural diversity. The UNDPI Yerevan Office is marking days of
all official languages of the UN throughout 2011.
