On October 24 the exhibition opened in the Green Hall of the RA
National Assembly, was dedicated to the National Day Against Tobacco
celebrated on October 12.
Varduhi Petrosyan, Director of the Research and Development Center
of the Healthcare Services of the American University of Armenia,
has applied to the RA NA Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan, asking to support
in organizing the exhibition on anti-tobacco theme in the legislative
body, to which the Speaker of the Parliament gladly responded.
The authors of the pictures touching upon the anti-tobacco theme are
the juniors of the Fine Arts and Decorative Applied Art Studio-College
and Davitashen N 2 Children-Youth Creative Center, who cooperating
with the Research and Development Center of the Healthcare Services
of the American University of Armenia have expressed their denial
attitude to the use of the tobacco in the picture language of their
childish fantasy.
Opening the exhibition Ara Babloyan, Chairman of the NA Standing
Committee on Healthcare, Maternity and Childhood, has noted that,
according to researches, the use of the tobacco more results in
illness, disability and mortality of millions of people than the
diseases, accidents and violence taken together.
Mr. Babloyan has mentioned that in recent years the parliament has had
a big contribution to the process of anti-tobacco struggle, making a
number of legislative amendments. He has stressed the fact that due
to the taken steps during the last four years a group of NA deputies
and members of the staff have given up the use of tobacco.
Mr. Babloyan has thanked the NA Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan, noting that
in his capacity as NA deputy, Head of the legislative body and citizen,
he is becoming the best example for the society by refusing the use
of the tobacco and living a healthy way of life.
In his word the NA Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan showed appreciation
to the Directorate of the Research and Development Center of the
Healthcare Services of the American University of Armenia for the
organized exhibition and necessitated that our society gave up the
harmful phenomenon of smoking as promptly as possible and live a
healthy way of life.
Mr. Abrahamyan has considered important that the NA deputies serve
as examples themselves and quit smoking. As the first step the NA
Speaker proposed to declare the third floor and the area of holding
the sittings in the parliament a non-smoking zone.
Varduhi Petrosyan, Director of the Research and Development Center
of the Healthcare Services of the American University of Armenia,
expressed gratitude to the NA Speaker for supporting the organization
of the exhibition in the legislative body.
