    The Day of the Russian Language at UN is marked in the beginning of
    June, to coincide with the birthday of Alexander Pushkin (June 6),
    the greatest Russian poet. Students were singing songs and reading
    Puskin's poetry.

    Dafina Gercheva, the UN Resident Coordinator said: "I am happy to
    see so many young people in the audience today! It is important
    that Armenians are learning Russian, which will help them to open
    the borders and learn more about the world around, will help them
    to be citizens of the world. We exist in a multilingual world where
    the languages we speak, or read, or write, affect the way we think
    and act."

    Armen Darbinyan, the Rector of the Russian-Armenian (Slavonic)
    University, spoke about opportunities to study Russian in Armenia
    and about an important role which the Russian Language is playing in
    spreading the message of the UN in the world.

    The Ambassador of the Russian Federation, Vyacheslav Kovalenko, spoke
    about the use of the Russian language in the UN and called Armenian
    youth to further study this language.

    The event was organized by the UN Department of Public Information and
    the Russian-Armenian (Slavonic) University in Armenia also supported
    by Embassies of the Russian Federation, Belarus, Kazakhstan and
    RosSotrudnichestvo. It was conducted in the framework of the Plan
    for Co-operation between the UNDPI and the University.

    Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish are the six
    official languages of the UN. In 2010 the UN Department of Public
    Information in New York has announced the launch of "Language Days
    at the United Nations", an initiative which seeks to celebrate
    multilingualism and cultural diversity.

    The UN Department of Public Information Yerevan Office jointly with
    its partners is also commemorating these six official languages of
    the United Nations.
