National Assembly
Sept 1 2011
Armenia
On September 1 the RA NA Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan met with the youth,
who visited Armenia from different countries within the framework
of "Ari Tun" (Come Home) program. Welcoming the participants of the
program in the RA National Assembly Mr. Abrahamyan highlighted "Ari
Tun" program, which gives opportunity to the young people living in the
Diaspora to better know the Motherland. "The Republic of Armenia is the
Motherland of all Armenians," the NA Speaker underlined. He considered
symbolic the young people's visit to Armenia, as in September they
were going to celebrate the 20th anniversaries of independence of the
Republic of Armenia and the Republic of Nagorno Karabakh. Emphasizing
such meetings Mr. Abrahamyan noted that recently he had a meeting
with a group of young people, who arrived from Diaspora, who were in
Armenia within the framework of the Armenian General Benevolent Union,
which has an interesting name: "Armenia: Country of Life."
The NA Speaker highlighted the participation of the youth in the
ongoing political-economic processes in our country, noting that
everything was done in order the youth would be involved in those
processes. In this context the Head of the Parliament said that the
National Assembly was implementing a number of programs, including
"Open Doors", "Open Lesson" programs, hosting the schoolchildren
and the students and was trying to strengthen youth-parliament
relationship. It was noted that the Youth Parliament had been shaped
and the first sitting had been convened, and they could use its
tribune for submitting their proposals. An opportunity has been
created for the members of the Youth Parliament also to take part
in the sittings of the NA Standing committees and four-day sittings,
having an immediate participation in the legislative work.
Hovik Abrahamyanalso presented his position on the settlement of the
NK conflict and the Armenian-Turkish relations.
During the warm and intimate talk the young people submitted to the
NA Speaker their proposals. The Head of the Parliament willingly
answered to all the questions concerning them, which referred to
the creation of the bi-cameral parliament and the adoption of the
draft law "On Repatriation." It was proposed to give opportunity to
the Diaspora youth to take part in the Republican Recitation Youth
Competition-Festival being held under NA Speaker's auspice and the
works of the Youth Parliament.
Taking the advantage, the NA Speaker congratulated everybody on the
occasion of the Knowledge Day, urging them to effectively use the
educational years, get knowledge and be useful to the Motherland.
In the end of the meeting the NA Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan had been
photographed with the participants of the "Ari Tun" program.
