On February 6 in the National Assembly the delegates of the South
Caucasus Youth Parliament (SCYP) were hosted, who were taking part
at the SCYP sitting being held in Armenia on February 5-8. In the
two previous years the young parliamentarians have convened their
sittings in the capital of Georgia, Tbilisi.
The SCYP sitting is organized within the framework of the programme
"Democracy Starts From You" being financed by the German Konrad
Adenauer foundation. The Armenian partner of the programme is the
Yerevan school of the Political Courses of the Council of Europe. At
the end five representatives from every country will be chosen for
getting familiarized with the European organizations on the spot.
In the parliament the legislators' activity, the history and structure
of the RA National Assembly were introduced to about 40 pupils of
the senior schools of Armenia and Georgia. Then the Vice President
of the National Assembly Hermine Naghdalyan had a meeting with
schoolchildren. Welcoming them the NA Vice President highlighted
the fact that due to this initiative Armenia will not only be a
neighbouring country, a geographical territory for the Georgian youth,
but also their friends' motherland. Highly appreciating the human
warm relations Hermine Naghdalyan noted that they were considered
to be also "the threads," which tie peoples and states. She stressed
the role that had been reserved for the young people in building the
future of the two friendly countries, Armenia and Georgia that had
chosen the path of democracy for about 20 years.
Hermine Naghdalyan has noticed that the most important events are
going to take place in the political field of both Armenia and Georgia
in 2013: in the RA on February 18, and in the neighbouring country
at the end of the year presidential elections will be held. The NA
Vice President was interested in the attitude of the SCYP delegates
towards the upcoming events and the mood in their families. The theme
inspired the schoolchildren, and during the talk it became clear
that not only the pupils of the senior schools were interested in
politics and disputes, but also their families. Hermine Naghdalyan
also told them about the reflection of the political events of our
country to her family, presenting in parallel the history, through
which the society of independent Armenia had passed from the first
presidential elections until the current phase.
The schoolchildren thanked the NA Vice President for the warm
reception, also asked questions about the works of the parliament,
the relations of Armenia with neighbouring countries, the process of
the Armenian Genocide recognition, the Nagorno Karabakh conflict and
a number of other problems.
After the meeting with Hermine Naghdalyan the SCYP delegates attended
the NA sitting.
