Yerevan's basic school # 14 after Nar Dos opened its doors for 220
Syrian Armenian children today. They will continue their education
at the "Cilicean" school until the situation in Syria stabilizes.
The solemn opening ceremony was attended by a number of officials
including the Mayor of Yerevan, Taron Margaryan.
The opening of the school has been initiated by the Cilicia charity
organization to help Syrian Armenians children avoid difficulties
after they return home.
"There have always been days of hardship throughout the history of the
Armenian nation, but Armenians have always proved their ability to
withstand any challenges. Now it's time to overcome another trial,"
Deputy Minister of Education and Science Manuk Lazarian said at the
opening ceremony.
Gayane Soghomonyan, head of the Public Education Department of the
City Hall Staff, informed that the problem of textbooks has been
solved thanks to the Primate of the Damascus Diocese of the Armenian
Apostolic Church. She noted that another 58 Syrian Armenian children
attend different kindergartens of Yerevan thanks to financial support
from the City Council.
Welcoming the opening of the school, Primate of the Damascus Diocese,
Bishop Armash Nalbandian wished a peaceful and productive academic
year to everyone.
